    Where to find Amtech 559 in the UK - aka what's the best flux

    Hi all,

    I am in the UK and cannot find a reliable source for Amtech 559 here. I can find it from Amazon but does not seem to be genuine - one one listing the "Amtech Europe" company which sells it also sells PS5 and games etc.

    To be honest I've been purchasing the 559 from Amazon for a while but I'd really love to source it from a more reputable supplier - besides that I do not like Amazon!

    Any advice? Alternatively, is there another good solder flux that I can source in the UK? This would also be used for BGA reballing/reflow.

    Thank you!

          I'd like to avoid Ebay and Amazon to be honest.

              I don't fund the penis rocket owner either, but the stuff off Ebay was bough from a distributor and was genuine.
              These guys sell it also. https://bga-reworking.co.uk/product/...cky-flux-10cc/

                  the penis rocket!

                  I had found bgareworking before but they don't have either sizes in stock unfortunately.
                  Can you link the ebay seller (if allowed by the rules)?

                              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...

                              Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
                              by corrize
                              Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
                              It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
                              I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
                              I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?

                              Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?

                              Now that my de-soldering gun is working i was able to remove this panel i made about a week before i noticed a issue the F segment of digits 2 and 3 would go out, digit 2 would go before digit 3, but would come back after the humidity got down from running the ac (note the weather outside is 30.5 / 74%; panel data is from a BME280)


                              Temp is on the left humidity is on the right

                              i noticed when the humidity got up one or 2 of the center digits on the right panel would loose a segment

                              The pin out looking down from the top is (note this is common cathode)...
