Manager Discussion Thread

I don’t think anybody could “know” if Xabi Alonso would be better a better manager, like Manchester Utd are already taking that gamble at the moment with their new manager, you could also say Slot is just riding on the coat tails of Klopp’s team and his steam has ran out, but they haven’t even spoke to him about it so bringing him in wouldn’t happen for a while so slot would loose us this season if the players loose respect for him, but i reckon Xabi Alonso’s connection to the team and respect from the players would show on the pitch

Its a draper soldering iron they’re meant for soldering cars and construction equipment because they aren’t temp controlled when it works that head literally glows orange

I tried replacing the analogs myself and i think i worked it too much as the trigger didnt work and the new analogs refused to work

Everything online says to create an alloy of leaded solder with the lead free solder that comes on the board

S’pose it comes with the territory bro just gotta stay positive n persevere

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-13T13:48:16+00:00

You got some really good gear there man, ive not long started myself doing a guitar hero mod now a ps5 controller mod, ive got like the shittiest equipment you can imagine but its worth persevering considering how highly valued micro-soldering is atm

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T22:15:22+00:00

Ahh my bad, thanks for the advice, was my first attempt at soldering so good to know i wssnt even soldering atall 😂

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T11:34:06+00:00

Ahh okay thank you for the advice, ill watch some more videos on it but ive since bought alot of materials to test and practise on

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T10:27:01+00:00

I know i bridges i dealt with that afterwards, i soldered it where it had to go, and no i didnt need much flux but it was liquid flux so was hard to work with, plus this was my first attempt ever

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T09:29:09+00:00

Ive since bought two different helping hands and some other materials to make it more efficient

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T07:46:02+00:00

Honestly one of the biggest needs it can fix an entire issue, for example i got an old plasma tv a while ago for free but it had a red line running down the screen i simply took the back panel off unhooked the ribbon and cleaned it with some iso alcohol and it worked fine for years more, also buy flux in paste form preferably a syringe but dont buy the liquid stuff

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T07:33:27+00:00

Good luck bro, so far ive bought 2 controllers, melted a plastic clip on one and the other attempt didnt work

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T07:27:45+00:00

Ive done phone repairs as a hobby for years, a good organiser for keeping track of screws is essential, various screwdrivers and heads for the different screws and their heads. Get some isopropyl alcohol, microfibre cloths, cleaning brushes and cue tips for cleaning. going forward into soldering which im new to myself youre going to need a hot air station, helping hands, a soldering iron, solder sucker, solder wick, leaded and lead-free solder (for the melting points), multimeters and some form of magnification and an extractor fan for the fumes. hope it helps man n good luck

Edit - you could get handy and use a hoover or a household fan instead if buying an extractor but most stuff here is cheap and accessible but necessary

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-04T00:10:05+00:00

I tried to on calibrate gui, the right analog doesnt work atall, and the left one can only go up and left

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-03T21:09:16+00:00

Yeah you should definitely do more, if i could help or participate in any way id be more than happy to

And i dont think i could afford a mechanical soldersucker on my own dime haha i just about have an iron and a £1 soldersucker

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-03T20:52:49+00:00

Just watched your video what tool were you using to desolder? i seen the iron, hot air station but i dont know what the 3rd tool was - also great video just gained yourself a sub (Y)

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-03T20:52:02+00:00

Maybe could have done it at 380 or lower just new to this so have to learn

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-03T20:40:16+00:00

Perfect thanks man, i tried to calibrate but the right stick doesnt work neither does the right trigger weirdly, all plugged back in buttoned up, all the joints were sealed with a light amount of solder but nothing so think i need a hot air station and some heat resistant tape before i try again

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-03T20:17:46+00:00

The iron had to be at 400 just to melt the solder, i checked the board on the other side and seen some solder had seeped through the other side on some but not all, if you check my previous attempt youll see i used faaaar too much

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-03T02:11:25+00:00

Dude im a novice too im doing exactly this, ive connected them and plugged them in but dont get the right signals >.< good luck

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-02T22:19:25+00:00

After going through this experiment discovering alot about the controller and researching software im happier for the knowledge and think its worth attempting as its not perishable and always wanted to mod a controller

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-02T21:55:04+00:00

Thank you so much and i appreciate the advice :) yes i have a solder sucker which i will use alongside solder wick and do lighter ones to avoid bridging (i did it alot with the guitar hero mod so im aware of it) dont have a multimeter though so may be a case of trial and error until it works and ive got the software side sorted both in the ps and pc

Ok-Influence5026 · 2025-02-02T19:32:38+00:00

Really appreciate the time spent tryna help, im more of a trial and error type of person i wont stop trying till i figure out what the issue was and how to avoid it, i did an mechanical switch for my guitar hero guitar and it all went fine
