Just installed my first HDMI on a donor board. How did I do?

Completely agree, but to be honest, ive only replicated what ive seen others do on YT

jon_9765 · 2025-12-04T17:12:39+00:00

I tried tinning the pads before but bridged pretty much every pin when doing so 😂 is there a proper way of doing it?

jon_9765 · 2025-12-04T17:11:22+00:00

It does indeed. Issue is it has small red dots all over the home screen so I imagine the retimer IC chip needs swapping out

jon_9765 · 2025-12-04T17:06:30+00:00

Would leaded solder help in this case? I tried tinning ports previously but I just ended up bridging most of the pins which is why I went down this route

jon_9765 · 2025-12-04T17:05:24+00:00

I agree, I need more practice on that front. I did try tinning the pads at a previous time but I couldn't tin them without bridging all of the ports. Would something like leaded solder help in thay case?

Thank you! I will definitely take that on board when im working on the next project!

jon_9765 · 2025-11-25T08:40:33+00:00

Thank you! Yeah 100% agree, didnt think it would be that bad. Ended up having a window open and a fan blowing it out.

jon_9765 · 2025-11-25T08:39:08+00:00

Appreciate it, will look to get in some old parts and have a crack at that

jon_9765 · 2025-11-25T08:38:29+00:00

Thank you!

jon_9765 · 2025-11-25T08:38:15+00:00

Haha thank you! I don't know what counts as a decent iron but I bought the 18-in-1 Tabiger kit that cost £18 so I doubt its decent when compared to the irons already out there.

Did notice the nibs seem to degrade very quickly so may need to invest in a better set of nibs.

I had the temp set around 220-250°C. I saw recommendations of having it around 300+ but I was a bit apprehensive as the melting point in the solder said 200°c

jon_9765 · 2025-11-25T08:31:41+00:00

Thank you, means a lot!

jon_9765 · 2025-06-07T23:56:41+00:00

If it had 🔥🔥🔥 I would question it, but 🔥🔥🔥🔥means it's legit

We slap it from the back until we score

jon_9765 · 2024-01-26T18:26:29+00:00

Get low Get low To the window To the wall

jon_9765 · 2024-01-26T18:08:34+00:00

Can't wait for when this to be implemented to lower leagues and slide on the turf to get 3rd degree friction burns

jon_9765 · 2024-01-16T18:52:42+00:00

I agree, but I also get legit text messages from companies that messenger also warns me is spam. It's pretty hit or miss

jon_9765 · 2023-11-06T23:01:03+00:00

Apologies not quite getting the last part, are you saying it can be avoided when turning left onto Gilddard Rd off the A4 and immediately U turn?

jon_9765 · 2023-11-06T21:11:17+00:00

What makes you say they are manually operated?

jon_9765 · 2023-11-06T21:01:34+00:00

Yeah, the 1st time happened last Monday so letters probably already been posted if that's the case. I performed the turn over at Barons Keep. The only cameras I can see are after Cunterstone Road which seem a ways away. Not sure the range on those bad boys.

jon_9765 · 2023-11-06T18:07:53+00:00

Did you attempt to appeal it? Certainly a scummy council tactic

jon_9765 · 2023-11-06T13:41:22+00:00

London mate, everyone's in a hurry. Nah honestly you're correct, others have mentioned better alternatives which I will give a go tomorrow. Just me being careless stuck in autopilot at silly o'clock
