Hi,
I have soldering station ZD-8916 and I only see like 6 different soldering tips being offered, eg. by tme: https://www.tme.eu/ie/en/details/zd-...er-peak/n9-26/
Very limited variety, I'm missing a chisel ones, it just doesn't exist.
I thought to myself everything is available in china, but they don't seem to be using the same nomenclature. Searching in aliexpress or temu for N9 tip doesn't find anything.
Is there perhaps equivalent type to N9 I should be searching for?
Or is my soldering station that weird and I just shot myself into a foot?...

Greetings badcaps community,

I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

I learned that desoldering...

Hi
I have a Quecoo T12-958 soldering iron and have noticed the soldering iron tip is not grounded
i dont want to use it like this
I only found out because the chassis ground wire from the ground lug / bannana socket came off
how can I ground the soldering iron tip

What I thought of doing is soldering a wire from the ground leg on the soldering iron tip connector to the ground lug
Would this be ok

There is a earth wire from the PSU to control board but its not connected to anything.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a BGA machine (ACHI IR PRO SR, 2400W IR Bottom and 450w IR Upper) but I don't know how to create the processing profiles. I need to desolder a faulty GPU on a laptop.

As software I was thinking of using this:

Can anyone tell me the most suitable or common heating curves for soldering and desoldering?
Thank you​

I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...
