You can try doorbell wire at hardware store, if you can find 22-24 gauge that would be ideal. That’s what I used in the past, still works. The trick is scraping off the coating on the circuit board. For that I use a fiberglass scratch brush..with a little flux and some heat (not too much or you risk the trace lifting) and you can repair the circuit.
I have tried using a trace repair pen on a Nintendo DS and it worked, but didn’t work on the Xbox.
Better to use one of these
Since everyone caught the leaded vs non-leaded error I won't even mention it.
However, I'm just gonna nip one thing I did catch in my read-through right now:
> Fast drying WD40 can also be somewhat useful for cleaning PCB’s.
I really hope you're referring to WD's line of electrical contact cleaner here, and not plain ol' WD-40 lubricant. Should probably make that a bit more clear so newcomers don't assume you're referring to plain WD-40.
Do not ever put standard WD-40 on your PCBs or components, it is oil-based and can eat plastic and rubber components if left to sit.
To add in/on/around:
Fantastic little batch of starter info here, though it could use some formatting work. Mods, pls sticky/pin this.
