    USB woes

    The bottom USB port on my Asus P3V4X motherboard has gone fubar.
    The top one still works though. This however did not happen on its own. My brother kicked my cousin off the PC and so he got angry and then pulled on the mouse very hard and threw it... in the process, the black plastic thing in the middle of the usb port broke.
    Any way to replace the port with an ordinary solder iron? or just forget about it?

      Re: USB woes

      I would just forget about it. Seems like too much of a hassle, although you could get a front usb card from some other computer, and de solder the whole usb ports and solder them onto yours.

          I agree: someone (maybe Scenic?) managed to solder some new USB ports on the motherboard, but it's a pain. You can use the spare port with an hub, add front USB ports (there should be USB headers on the motherboard) or a USB 2.0 card.

              or you could find another mb (dead w/usb 2.0) and de-solder the ports off of there.

              and never let that guy touch your computer again

                  Best way to solder LVDS connector for beginner (and qfn) ?
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I'm a beginner for micro soldering. Right now I have some difficult to solder a qfn 20, I guess I put too much solder on the thermal-ground pad, the result is a corner of chip wich don't touch the board (last try).

                  I use a wire solder with hot air, I tin the board and chip before with iron and I use good flux.

                  I will have to solder a LVDS connector (40 pins, laptop pc), I saw a solder paste in seringe, good quality (it does not scatter).
                  See the test :

                  UV solder mask - high temp resistent, recomendation?
                  by myth77
                  Can someone recommend any good UV solder mask? But i need a solder mask that will stand high temperetures. The thing is...sometimes i have a bigger cooper ripped from the board, lets say mosfet pad... i reconstract it with cooper sheet, then i "glue it" with solder mask...then i use UV light...and let it cool a bit. After, i try to clean the cooper of extra solder mask..and till that part all is ok. But, when i use a soldering iron to solder that pad/cooper...the solder mask gets weaker or destroyed and finally the pad is ripped again from the board .
                  Is there any solder mask...

                  BGA solder balls not connecting - help pls
                  by petemanuk
                  So I though in my spare time I’d set myself up repairing motherboards mainly pin damaged lga1151 sockets types.

                  I’m using an achi ir sc pro rework station (gave up on my Achie ir6500 - don’t recommend)

                  I’ve managed to get my rework profile somewhere in the correct region (after a lot of trial and error) to get the old sockets off and reflow new ones back on again, the problems I’m getting is not all of the solder balls are re-attaching when re-flow occurs. I know this because when socket is removed pads still look clean and have no solder...

                  Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                  by acedogblast
                  This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                  There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                  Solder not reflowing - what am I doing wrong?
                  by sircastor
                  I'm trying to fix a broken MacBook Air, and got a parts board to salvage components from. Following the suggestions of many folks here, I wanted to get in a little practice of using my hot air station (A Quick 957DW+) on the parts board so I know what kind of behavior to expect.

                  For the life of me, I can't get anything done with this thing. I have tried multiple temperatures (from 210-425c), different air speeds, preheating the board (with the hot air, just warming it all around). I have applied what feels like excessive amounts of flux (Amtech V2-TF-559) and the solder on these components...
