Pin repair on circuit board

If you want to use the old pin this works.


Put the copper wire (12 ga. or whatever fits snugly) into the open end of pin first, then tin it/solder it so it becomes one with the pin. Trim the excess wire sticking out the bottom of the pin so there is a small amount sticking out. Clean the contact you will solder on the board and push the end of the pin with the wire sticking out into the board. Solder it back onto the board. Done.
