HELP! Surface-Mount Wire Soldering
Hi! I've got this (see picture) issue. Small circuit board, 100% circuit mount, one side. Solder is stuck on the connections! How do I clean off this tiny board? None of the joints can be shorting out. I only have a few tools to scrape and pry, a soldering and desoldering iron, and a desoldering pump. I need a fresh start. On all 6 points, there will be a wire soldered which is hard enough. Basically, I need to clean this little PCB and get all the solder off of these connection points so nothing shorts out. Thanks!

I can't really see what you're trying to do, but desoldering braid is excellent for removing solder.Attached Files -

Re: HELP! Surface-Mount Wire Soldering
Where can I purchase this desoldering braid? I would get it at RadioShack but my location closed. I wonder, if Wal-Mart would have it. If not, then I might just have to go to Amazon. Basically, on this small surface-mount board, the solder won't come off of the connection points, it's like attracted to the board or something
EDIT: I realize you are in England. I will go check tonightComment

Re: HELP! Surface-Mount Wire Soldering
It's available on ebay and Amazon and any of the electronic retailers will stock it. Mouser and Digikey for example, even Walmart have some. It doesn't have to be Chemtronics brand.Comment

Hi,
A friend of mine gave me an iPod nano G3 to see if I can fix it for him.
The device had a faulty battery and he tried to replace it but failed. In the process he managed to pull off the pads that corresponds to the white battery wire (marked with a red circle in the images)....from both sides of the PCB. Fortunetely he didn't damage anything else.
This is usually an easy fix HOWEVER, on the PCB, I see no traces coming from the VIA and after searching the internet, I've found no schematics nor boardview for this device. With the pads gone from both sides I seem... -
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... -
We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was... -
Hi All,
So my friend was visiting and he wanted to use my solder bench to solder on some WLED circuit board. My laptop was open on the side for RAM upgrade. I know my mistake.
So while soldering he had too much solder on the soldering iron tip and he just shook off the soldering iron on the table itself to remove extra solder on the soldering tip and it landed on the motherboard of laptop. He then out of fear tried to remove it using solder wick and did more damage by removing some components as well. So here I am with weird situation.
I have not tried putting...
