    to me it is reflex to re-cock after hitting the button

      Just wait for one used on ebay. I bought a hakko 470b w/ a few parts missing for $100, spent a few bucks and got it running.

        i bought a new sucker. another stick one, but of smaller, all aluminum construction. only plastic parts are button, plunger, o-rings and tip. i had to sand a fey sharp edges but was great otherwise. my old one told me it was dead when the tip and tip holder shot across the room. sounded like a gun. nearly broke a window.

        this one is a velleman vdtd5:

            100 is too much for a teen with no job. 5 bucksfor the one above sounds better

              might be wise to invest in an ESD safe one. I once read over at diyaudio that the non-ESD safe ones can blow up mosfet gates...not sure if there's any truth to it tho.

                  How to correctly desolder through hole IC?
                  by LearningToRepair
                  Hi!

                  I tried to desolder through I had IC that I wanted to replace but failed. And now I came here to learn what's the correct way for doing this. I tried to use soldering wick but the capillary force kept solder in the hole. With soldering wick I only managed to remove the part of solder that was outside the hole. But the solder that was inside the hole never got out. And of course when I moved on to next pin the solder in previous hole hardened again so no matter how many times I did all the pins there was still solder in holes.

                  Question 1: what would have been correct...

                  Hakko 950 SMT hot tweezers but no base or stand
                  by redwire
                  I got gifted a Hakko 950 SMT hot tweezers but no base or stand.
                  Any suggestions for building one?

                  "The 950 is compatible with the Hakko 936, 937, 939, 703, 926, 927 and 928 soldering stations." Apparently it has two heaters in parallel "24V 50W", one RTD temperature sensor 43-58Ω at room temp. 5-pin DIN.
                  I don't have any of those, have a 470-2 (no RTD in) and a FX-888A.

                  Aluminum SMD caps vs thru hole caps (reliability)
                  by 13mh13
                  The PCB motor for 1987 Technics SLP-120 CD player has slow spin-up issues. Similar to what another tech in the below video reported.

                  I replaced the three bi-polar 47uF electros but that made no difference. The orig three bi-polar 47uF electros tested okay on my ESR M-tester.
                  I have not tested/replaced those alum. SMD electro PCB caps.
                  Are Al smd caps are more prone to failure (or degradation) than regular thru-hole electros?

                  How to desolder this component beside chemical cap ?
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I need your advise pls ?
                  The black component at the center of picture is dead, I need to replace it (it's a Nikon D5 camera). It's easy to desolder with hot air. But beside, there is a chemical cap, and I don't want to destroy it.

                  How do you do ?
                  I have low melt solder and good capton. Is it better to desolder the cap (for safe) with iron, then desolder-resolder the black component with hot air ? Or these caps are strong enough and capton and other cover can avoid hot air damage ?...

                  Samsung UN65TU8000 - Panel Issue [ hole in ribbon cable ]
                  by NWArkGuy
                  Well, I will be the first to admit that I screwed up...

                  In attempting to replace the backlight in a UN65TU8000, I made a hole through one of the ribbon cables between the board that runs along the bottom of the back of the TV and the panel. This lead to a between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical stripe running the full height of the image.

                  I don't have the experience; personally, to solder a bridging wire for the paths that were cut. So, I have been on the hunt for other Samsung TV's of similar size.

                  I have 2 that I have found and have in my possession. ...
