CMR | 520 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) This is an NES PPU that had really brittle pins. I broke them off removing it. Afterwards I put it away and forgot about it till recently when I decided to dig it out and attempt a repair. I had to grind away some of the casing and solder new pins on it. Afterwards I smeared some JB Weld over them so they wouldn't break off again. It was a success. I now have a working PPU for my test board again. The JB Weld was messy, but the pics make everything look messier than it is. My phone camera adds five pounds of dirt to everything it takes a picture of.

SNESNESCUBE64 | 540 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Neat. I've never used epoxy or anything after a pin repair, but looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted something that would hold it together if I had to remove it for testing other chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
