Re: Boyam99's mass merge of trolling & noob questions

Consider yourself very lucky. Thats like using a 10lb sledge to drive finishing tacks. Just because it works doesn't mean its the correct tool or method.

Im impatient. I dont want to bea tmy head off the wall waiting for the item to heat up LOL!

Yea I was going to yesterday.
Even took a printscreen of all threads and shit.
Then I thought to myself: someone on the internet is wrong.
And I went to bed instead
And today I woke up a happy man when I saw TC has taken care of it

Re: Ps3 cap not coming out

^
I've had to untangle many severely damaged boards and throw away a lot of destroyed boards that people used those on. It's definitely not recommended or a wise choice of tooling for this kind of work....I guess I shouldn't mind, I've made a lot charging people to unto their stupid mistakes....but it never ceases to amaze me the silly things people do & use to "fix" something.

...but for a PS3, which will be RoHS compliant (lead-free solder), read up on through-hole soldering, paying close attention to reflowing a little fresh solder into the joint to loosen it up....its right before how to hack vbulletin admin accounts and not getting caught...

+1 lol

Re: Ps3 cap not coming out

Can be leaded solder instead of unleaded which takes more heat. People dont condone it, but I use a soldering gun made for cars that puts out 100 watts I think. Takes most anything off.

Re: What is the right watt soldering iron to desolder cap?

Can't solder stuff on motherboards with a 30w soldering iron, at least just with one.

motherboards have multiple layers connected together, so all those layers of copper quickly absorb heat and move it away, making it almost impossible for your soldering iron to maintain the temperature of what you try to solder above the solder's melting temperature.

It helps a lot to heat the board from the bottom with something, could be as simply as a hair dryer or a paint stripping gun but be careful to heat from some distance and gradually (start far away and bring heat source closer) and not go overboard because you don't want parts on the bottom to desolder themselves.

Liquid flux also helps a lot, find some before abusing the board.

What is the right watt soldering iron to desolder cap?

I have a 30w soldering iron and I'm having trouble removing some of the caps in a gateway computer. Is there a specified watt I should use.I also have a 120w soldering iron as well

Re: Are Panasonic caps any good

Ok bud.

Re: Is there a certain type of solder I should purhase?

It will work just fine.

Thanks

Re: Are Panasonic caps any good

They are fake and will not be properly rated to genuine ones, order from somewhere like Rs.

OK I'll cancel my order
