PCBs are shiny. Solder paste is reflective. A cheap camera will blind you with glare. A quality includes HDR imaging to even out the contrast so you can see trace details under the solder mask.

Corrosion is the silent killer. Placing a water-damaged board into an ultrasonic bath with mild PCB cleaning solution scrubs microscopic solder balls and corrosion from under BGA chips. No brush can reach those areas. This preventative saves hours of debugging. pcbrepairtool

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | | Creates electrical paths without heat (critical for heat-sensitive substrates). | | Pad repair kit | Assorted copper shapes (round, rectangular, odd). | | Micro-grinder with diamond bits | Precisely exposes inner layers without cutting through. | | UV curing light & solder mask | Protects repaired areas from moisture and shorts. | | Fiberglass scratch brush | Cleans and roughens surfaces for epoxy adhesion. | | Curing iron (low temp, 100-150°C) | Speeds up epoxy cure without damaging board. | A quality includes HDR imaging to even out
