burnt out solder iron heaters...

02-16-2014, 03:34 AM

Well, it happened, my temp controlled solder iron heater burned out.
How often does stuff like this happen?

My non-temp-controlled iron is still fine... why can't this one break and not my temp controlled one...

Oh well.

Though I bet it has something to do with the quality and design.

862D+ solder station iron out of control when fan on

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...
