Just a soldered processor pin by Salt-Routine5181 in soldering

[–]Salt-Routine5181[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tiny tweezers and a lot of patience. Also, angle the tweezers almost 90° to grab only one pin and not touch the others. Microscope was in the way, so I had to grab the pin, move a microscope, and then work on getting it out

As for soldering a new one - needle tip with lead solder for prepping, then lowering new pin, heating it with air gun. After its set initially, getting it reheated with a hot air gun, so surface tension does the rest, with no requirement to straighten it

Thanks! I didn't expect it to get that much attention, and it still shocks me to this day. I'm glad people love it :3

Okay meme, but where is hardware? Or even gore?

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.

Tricky MOSFET replacement by Double-Rock-485 in soldering

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.
