im trying to repair the board for a display unit on my dirt bike.
two of the diodes suffered some corrosion around the legs which caused the display to fail.
Ive sourced what i think should be suitable replacements for soldering back on to the board.
Before i do that i wanted to check the condition of the solder pads.
From the photos can you guys tell if the pads shown in the pic ( where one of the diodes has been removed) are in usable condition?
Ive given them a clean up with electrical contact cleaner but they dont look great. Im not sure if they are badly corroded or just need more cleaning!
is there any way i can check them with a multimeter before starting any soldering?
Im not an expert on this so thought i see if i might need to do anything else before attempting to solder the new items
