    800F Not hot enough..

    Well I just replaced some caps on my vp6.. I came into 2 holes that wouldn't melt and give. I had to press the damn soldering tip from my hakko FP-102 for a while until it would melt, even with fresh solder.. I have no idea what kind of solder abit is using but its not light. I finally got them cleared and new caps in.. But the back of the board is somewhat "burned" from the excessive heat. To top it off, the two panasonic caps between the AGP and PCI are too big. I am hoping tomcat will sell me those two. I couldn't plug my video card in, but the system did turn on without blowing up . It posted two beeps.. Which is prob from the video card not being in. It took me a while to learn and start heating both leads up on a cap instead of one.. Man did things speed up after that.. I also came into less clogged holes that way. Hope my board is ok, the pcb just looks brownish around those two annoying holes..

      Just install the caps between the AGP and PCI1 sideways. I do that on all of them. Stops the caps from interfering with AGP cards. Locating low-profile caps to fit that is impossible with a quality brand.

          Well I already clipped the stupid things when I put them in.. Well the one I did anyway. I didn't get the other in the mail.. But when I do I will follow your advice. Now that leaves me with that one cap that needs to be replaced due to size and being clipped..


          Thanks,
          Cody

              There's probably a substancial ground plane in there, which sinks the heat away from the iron. It's certainly an acquired skill, working on mainboards and replacing caps..

                  Soldering help.
                  by Hornnumb2
                  I am at my wits end trying to get these 2 hole clear. The other 2 holes no problem. I tried low melt, hot air, wick and my solder sucker gun. One hole still has the pin in it. I have my iron up to 450 with a big tip, hot air turned up to 500. Any suggestion? Thanks Michael

                  And by the way it took me 10 minutes to find the login button, it sure needs to be a brighter color or something.

                  Drilling out solder from capacitor holes
                  by Nier
                  I have an xbox 360 board that had 4 leaked electrolytic capacitors. I desoldered all 8-10 capacitors (1500uf 16v) since 4 leaked and wanted to replace all of them. 2 capacitor legs broke and were stuck in the through hole.

                  My two solder suckers just didn't work and I decided to use my dremel lite in the lowest speed to drill out the broken capacitor legs. I used a carbon drill with the exact diameter size as the capacitor hole. I drilled out the capacitor legs but I think that I damaged the holes. I don't think that the solder will adhere through the hole if If I solder a new capacitor....

                  Drilling holes laptop bottom
                  by televizora
                  I wonder if drilling a few holes in the laptop case, on the bottom below the fan will actually help and decrease the CPU/GPU temps. I have one spare not so new laptop with first gen core i5, but the main issue is that while the cooling systen is clean, it runs rather hot - youtube tends to bring the laptop to about 60-64 degrees, even if power plan with 60% power limit restriction is used and the cpu itself does not go above 1.2-1.4GHz. It has integrated graphics, this is true, but the temps seem a little bit high... Even the SSD runs above 55-60 degrees, while it isnt actually intensively used......

                  Post your Samsung NU model series backlight failures and diffuser melt-downs here!
                  by DXseekerMO
                  So I started this thread for all of us TV fixers to post our Samsung NU model series backlight failure and resulting main diffuser melt-downs. Please do post pictures!

                  Either Samsung needs to recall these TVs for this problem or provide owners with updated parts that will not repeat the same failure!

                  I will start:

                  Samsung UN40NU7100FXZA, left-side backlights failed, left side of main diffuser and reflector sheet behind it melted in the shape of the LEDs below it. Picture #1 and 2 below.

                  Samsung UN65NU7100FXZA, left-side backlights failed,...

                  Identification of two round holes on top of rack.
                  by Spork Schivago
                  Hello!

                  I've searched the internet, skimmed through a lot of HPE PDFs, all searching for the answer to a simple question. On the top of my HPE H6J77A Advanced Series rack (36U), there are two round holes on the front top of the rack. What are those holes for?

                  Here is a picture of the holes that I'm talking about. I know what the square on the back is for.

                  I originally thought fans, but no, the fan kit is for the middle of the top of the rack. Then I thought maybe duct work for cooling, but that doesn't make sense with both being on the top there. I looked...
