CAUTION: Maintain original spacing between the

components and the circuit board, to prevent
excessive component temperatures.
Circuit Board Foil Repair
Excessive heat applied to the copper foil of any printed circuit
board will weaken the adhesive that bonds the foil to the circuit
board, causing the foil to separate from, or "lift-off", the board.
The following guidelines and procedures should be followed
whenever this condition is encountered.

At IC Connections
To repair defective copper pattern at IC connections, use the
following procedure to install a jumper wire on the copper3. Connect insulated 20-gauge jumper wire from the nearest
