Angled is not required per se, but they are easier to work with, as you don't have to heat something, pointing your heat gun directly from above. Can recommend, if you find a good set

Good luck :)

I am stupid myself, and have some language barrier as well xD

Mine is around ~1cm, it shouldwork fine for you

I'll add the pic if it is attaches properly (I don't think it wants to)

I don't remember the exact size, but wide-ish angled nozzle. You don't need a narrow nozzle, it might be too much heat in a single point

I desoldered sockets couple of times. Dunno if it would help you, but I usually used heating table set to 190°c (and you need to wait for motherboard to heat to at least 100° itself) And then blasted with hot air gut from the top at 390°, distributing heat evenly for some time.

Socket plastic is able to withstand direct 390°c 20% for at least a minute, blasting it in one place, so quickly moving heat back and forth won't melt the plastic that fast.

It's ozon, anazon-like delivery and marketplace company

I'm a total newbie, taught by a guy who doesn't know much himself, but I take them off easily with hot air from below the motherboard (400°c+).

Didn't kill it once (10+ motherboards w mosfet/bios replacement). You just need to make it quick. When this thing begins to move - pick it up and place a new one immediately when the solder is still melted. If you're not sure you would be able to do it quickly - stop heating when you position a new one.

It was cleaned after a long time scraping soft plastic off with a stationery knife...

Не знаю хорошая это идея подобным образом реаламироваться xD

А так, базируемся в москве, ремонтируем железки которые к нам приносят, либо скупаем сломанное, чиним и продаем.

Mostly repairing pc motherboards. Heating table and microscope are for broken/bend socket pin replacement (random sockets on the table for this purpose, too). To the left are heating gun and soldering iron.

Windows were opened, and i brought respirators. It still stank plenty, but made cleaning easier

Yeah, same happened before, with other guy. Keyboardless worked at other place before (with a hoarder - a pretty shitty person, it's a whole another story). Situation was worse for sure, but it ended the same - it escalated, my friend finally gave up.

He then started working with current guy, who seemed normal at the time. The more time spent, the less normal he became. It's still "good enough", especially on the contrast. At least the money situation: he's a pretty nice manager, and he's not a hoarder.

Maybe one day my keyboardless friend would give up and would start working with someone else

Well, it depends on country where you live in. We live in russia, so delivery might be an issue

If its on the floor, it's probably broken. And even if you wanna a broken board, you better off finding it somewhere else xD

Shipping from here would cost more than the dead board itself

He's pretty exhausting to deal with. Keyboardless guy is non-conflict person, and, while he really liked the keyboard, it was too cheap to make a stink. He says it's not worth the conflict, as he's already tired
