you can set your temp to match the type of solder your dealing with.

Ouch. Id think that piece would be glaas. Clear plastic tends to be brittle.Comment

Re: Desoldering station vacuum pump. Looking for recommendations.
The directions explain what setting to use depending on solder and if the board is double sided or not. But I just started on the lowest setting possible and worked up until it did the job.Comment

Re: Desoldering station vacuum pump. Looking for recommendations.
Update on the FR300. The first two canisters cracked, but the 3rd is working fine. Manufacturing must of gotten a bad batch of plastic. So far the tool is working good and reliability with moderate use.Comment

Re: Desoldering station vacuum pump. Looking for recommendations.
If you can find someone who works with glass, you could get a glass one made from a piece of glass tube. That's what I have for my Den-on. Much nicer and easier to clean. The original plastic one has held up fine, but has tiny bits of solder melted into the inside everywhere. Glass works a lot better."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: Desoldering station vacuum pump. Looking for recommendations.
I have an ancient Ungar desolder pump (sounds like an aquarium pump, probably is an aquarium pump!). Over the years I've had to replace the heating element once already. Yes, cleaning it is very important else you'll clog. I have some steel wire that I use to poke through the tip, and changing the filters must be done as well. Also emptying the solder bin is also quite important, put it off and you might have an internal "solder bridge" that may result in replacing parts...
It's a pain to maintain but being able to remove solder... almost priceless.
(Good solder wick also works well...)Comment

I use a Pace ST 115E De-Soldering system with the Sx80 solder extractor, older technology but very reliableComment

Re: desoldering station
I have one. Are you having as many problems modding a new style gun into it as I am? I would like to trade some board and original gun wiring pictures/pinouts with you! My unit came from ebay, with no gun, in a fully toasted state.
Trying to add the B1002B gun this this is a pain. I will have to add a solid state relay and transformer to run the 24v heater. The problem that is holding me up currently, is that I have no idea where the thermocouple attaches On top of that, the butcher that previously worked on this unit burned/pulled off all the traces at the din connector.
Please, we can help each other!

If you have this Desoldering Gun Station there is something you should be aware of the two screws that hold the motor to mounting for pump can come loose and make raddling noise
One note this unit has been repaired already once because of switching power supply regulator ic chip failure
Now this with the vacuum motor mounting issue yes I give this Desoldering station a very hard work out and use about every weekend to do some type of project
The fix is taking the vacuum pump assembly out and take the metal cover off and you will see the two screws on it

just did one.
works great.
so here's the discoveries.
the pump "modules" have 4 parts, the main body, the outside bit, the inside bit - screwed to the main body, and the diaphram.
the failure is the inside bit, it has a rubber coating for some reason that becomes tacky and breaks down - contaminating the diaphram.
so you need to clean everything to get rid of all the tacky black stuff.
then reassemble it.
*BUT*
you must put the 2 screws into the assembly only finger-tight.
if you tighten it properly the valves dont work.... -
I have a Hoover FM216LI cordless vacuum which isn't charging its internal battery.
I opened up the unit, and it has 6x Samsung ICR18650-22P cells connected in series.
5 cells were at about 3.3-3.1V. one was at 2.4V, so I assumed this cell was bad that's why the vacuum wasn't charging so I replaced it with another 18650, but after that the problem still persists, the vacuum turns on a bit and then cuts out since the batteries are empty.
So I think the over discharged battery wasn't the culprit, it was a symptom of the unit not being able to charge its batteries.... -
I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump
One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy... -
Hi,
I have an "HP EliteBook 840 G6" and would like to know how to dump the BIOS flash chip without desoldering. Putting 3.3V on VCC of the BIOS chip with a programmer does not work (seems to enable the PCH). I have read some general notes about connecting the CPU reset to ground or to bypass oscillators. There does not seem to be a reset line for Intel i5-8365U. Just RSMRST, but it's only accessible on the other side of the mainboard. Is there an easy way to dump the flash without desoldering and without removing the mainboard? Does anyone have experience with this? Maybe...01-04-2025, 04:11 PM
