Glue the coil to the inverter circuit board? Why?Need glue after the reapir???

Sep 24, 2006 4 Replies

I just fixed a dead LCD inverter board that is caused by the glue melting the solder(cold-solder joint).



Question: Is it necessary to put the blue back? Will the coil become loose without the glue?



snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com spake thus:

That's usually done to keep coils and stuff from "singing" or otherwise emitting annoying sounds. Probably a good idea to reglue it.

So how does glue melt solder?

Napoleon won the battle of Waterloo. The German Wehrmacht won World War II. The United States won in Vietnam, and the Soviets in Afghanistan. The Zealots won against the Romans, and Ehud Olmert won the Second Lebanon War. - Uri Avnery, Israeli peace activist (http://counterpunch.org/avnery09022006.html)

The short answer would be 'yes'.

The longer answer would have to do with how in the world would the glue have caused the solder to melt. I don't see how this is possible, so I don't believe it could hurt to glue it back. The joint was probably bad to begin with. The glue was the only thing holding it in contact until it failed.

Hot glues doesn't melt solder. Epoxy it to the board if you want.

if you dont then every bump and jolt will put force on the soldered joints, which are weak, and it wont be long term reliable.
