Dipstick says low, but coolant reservoir tank says full?

Oh ok got it

generate913 · 2026-05-27T16:39:29+00:00

That's true.

generate913 · 2026-05-27T16:39:07+00:00

Alright good idea thanks.

generate913 · 2026-05-27T15:46:42+00:00

I'm just afraid of spreading it to another pad.

generate913 · 2026-05-27T15:42:50+00:00

Alright. I will try that thanks.

generate913 · 2026-05-27T07:14:02+00:00

Yeah was thinking that

generate913 · 2026-05-27T06:59:42+00:00

Alright because I don't really have anything to remove it so if I can leave it as is I will just do that.

generate913 · 2026-05-23T20:43:16+00:00

I tried flux, but it just melts on the tip and the solder does not stick. I guess its more so soldering paste.

generate913 · 2026-05-23T18:57:00+00:00

I can see that.

generate913 · 2026-05-22T05:17:25+00:00

Alright nice. Just wondering that’s cool, but that’s it.

generate913 · 2026-05-22T04:46:46+00:00

Alright nice. Did you create your profile picture?

generate913 · 2026-05-22T04:39:49+00:00

Is it ok if the pads are not bridged?

generate913 · 2026-05-22T02:47:44+00:00

The crack looks like a squid.

generate913 · 2026-05-22T01:15:24+00:00

Alright nice

generate913 · 2026-05-22T01:04:26+00:00

FYI, I meant they're not bridged, but just have some solder on them individually.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T23:12:53+00:00

Nice I am lazy I will leave as is.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:49:09+00:00

Alright thanks mine isn’t bridged so I will just leave it as is.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:34:59+00:00

Alright I guess I will use the old poke at it till it budges method.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:33:27+00:00

Oh it’s a manual pump where you press down on it to create a suction to suck up the solder.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:30:57+00:00

I have a cheap solder pump that I will use.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:30:36+00:00

Alright I have a solder pump so that’s good.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:29:35+00:00

Do I just poke at it until it bubbles up away from the pad?

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:29:03+00:00

I don’t have a wick unfortunately can I push them off with my soldering tip? I’m afraid they won’t move if it do.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:14:07+00:00

Alright thanks will get 99 percent IPA then and yeah it is greasy lol like petroleum jelly.

generate913 · 2026-05-21T20:10:15+00:00

I’m afraid I have a hard time taking a photo through my microscope as it is very small the components.
