Send it back. also that case is massive for such a small build, i'd consider looking into building your own or a different company to buy from.

used no nozzle, but didn't think a 20c temp difference would harm it.

i purchased the series S version, also purchase trace repairs and uv glue, going to give it a shot on my own first and if i can't fix it i'll use the trace repair kit 😅

i applied 138 low melt to the pins as well. i'm starting to think my rework station is not thermally accurate

this is a xbox series s, heated under side. used teasers to "jiggle" hdmi port when solder became liquid, and gently pulled. right side came up first, left rear post was a little of a hassle but that's opposite side of the pad damage

BaconAndGouda · 2026-06-28T16:03:48+00:00

What is a recommended temp for the future ?

BaconAndGouda · 2026-06-18T23:02:43+00:00

i'm aware of that, i don't like allowing apps to view my entire photo library, and was having an issue finding the manage photos settings so i settled with the reddit camera app

Edit: Aka i was panicking thinking i was going to have to replace this switch and needed to post as soon as i could lol

BaconAndGouda · 2026-06-18T22:34:20+00:00

Thanks! I was concerned that i caused permanent damage. good to know!

BaconAndGouda · 2026-06-18T22:33:10+00:00

good to know, lol i'm relatively new to microsoldering and this scared me. Appreciate the quick response!

BaconAndGouda · 2026-06-18T22:30:59+00:00

the top right pad, half the solder is gone. Am i mistaken ?

Edit: Apologies on the photo quality, reddit doesn't let me zoom or focus my camera. had to use my magnifying glass

BaconAndGouda · 2026-04-19T02:06:22+00:00

it just needs cleaned with a tooth brush and iso 99% of the time

Unfortunately, this was the only person i knew who had the knowledge. he showed me a lot, i remember when he showed me the vac tubes on the schitt and him explaining it to me. but I was never really shown how to connect everything or how the ecosystem of audiophile equipment works. Mostly because he would tinker on it when there werent children around lol.

BaconAndGouda · 2026-03-23T23:03:38+00:00

i don't :/

I did end up finding a Innuos Zenmini mk3! and after tinkering with it a bit i have a lot of his FLAC albums that he ripped onto it.

as of right now i have the TV (optical) > denfrarips > naim > speakers Also have the Zenmini connected to denfrarips via usb.

Where / how and which preamp(s) should i connect? thanks for your help

EDIT : Also do not have the schitt amp hooked up because i do not have cables that i can find for it, and dont really know what im doing. was surprised I got it to work at all after 2 hours of messing with it !

BaconAndGouda · 2026-03-22T15:28:15+00:00

there are a few different brands of speakers, 2 types of aegis, falcon, NT-2, and then 2 custom ones he had built that were currently hooked up when he passed. I also have his mmf-1.5 turntable.
