From my PM's:
[quote]Hi Kev,
First of all, don't worry. There's an Akai repair centre in the UK, but on the flip side when I sent my Deep Impact to them they took 9 weeks and charged me £80 for what I think are relatively simple fixes (re-installing the software, changing the value select knob cap and the output cab).
I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like your friend has actually done more damage than help. One of the main reasons for traces coming away from the PCB is overheating with soldering iron destroying the structure of the glue that holds the trace to the board. The soldering robots that Akai use to make their products wouldn't have done this.
Can you take a good, clear photo of the area? Then we can see if we can decide what it best to do.
Cheers, Joe.[/quote]
Sometimes, this board makes me question why I bother to help people.
