Standard white distilled vinegar is 5% acetic acid and pretty mild. I've used it to remove oxidization from tools and metals and thinking it could be used on corroded circuit boards if used carefully and possibly diluted further. Just a quick scrub-down with a toothbrush and rinse off with water and then IPA. What do you folks think?

Re: Anyone used vinegar to remove oxidization?

Excuse me while i do something dangerous
You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

MEK is nasty toxic stuff. They made us stop using it in the Navy back in 1972.Comment

Problem
This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached.... -

I am new to hot air soldering. I need to remove one chip from the board. I have a hot air solder and I set the temperature to 350°C. I slowly started heating the chip, but the solder didn't melt. I heated it for about 5 minutes, but the solder still wouldn't melt. I increased the temperature to 450˚C and still nothing. After a while, the board started to change color, but the solder still didn't melt.
Fortunately, I'm testing it on old network switches to see how it works.
What am I doing wrong?
I've seen a lot of videos on youtube and everyone got the solder melted and the...
