    Super solder sucker vacuum pump

    I am interested in some sort of solder sucker that is basically a vacuum ie; i turn it on and it will suck the liquified solder

    The solder suckers that are sold for a few bucks are not the type i am looking for. When i remove a BGA chip i clean the solder balls with a Hakko FX which works well, however i am always looking for new ways and new things. I figured a sort of touchless cleaning would work much better.

    After the BGA is removed i would use a air wand to keep the site hot while moving the vacuum over the pads sucking the solder. That is the idea i want to accomplish.

    I would appreciate any suggestions in creating such a device or modifying some other devices for this

          ZD-915 vacuum pump motor mount service alert
          by sam_sam_sam
          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

          Best way to solder LVDS connector for beginner (and qfn) ?
          by corrize
          Hello, I'm a beginner for micro soldering. Right now I have some difficult to solder a qfn 20, I guess I put too much solder on the thermal-ground pad, the result is a corner of chip wich don't touch the board (last try).

          I use a wire solder with hot air, I tin the board and chip before with iron and I use good flux.

          I will have to solder a LVDS connector (40 pins, laptop pc), I saw a solder paste in seringe, good quality (it does not scatter).
          See the test :

          With hot air from bellow the board, that's...

          [HELP] Acer AN515-55 (LA-J871P Rev: 1B) – Board won't power on after GPU investigation – Suspecting Super I/O or PCH

          Hi everyone,

          I'm working on an Acer Nitro 5 unit with the following specs:
          • Motherboard: LA-J871P Rev: 1B
          • Model: Acer AN515-55-59MT
          • S/N: NHQ7JAL00403906A973400
          • SNID: 03902728734
          Initial Issue


          The laptop initially presented graphic issues and driver failure (Code 43) for the GPU.

          After preventive maintenance (cleaning, thermal paste, etc.), it powered on normally. We disassembled it again to inspect the GPU, reassembled...

          Hoover FM216LI cordless vacuum refuses to charge
          by flat-earther
          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....

          UV solder mask - high temp resistent, recomendation?
          by myth77
          Can someone recommend any good UV solder mask? But i need a solder mask that will stand high temperetures. The thing is...sometimes i have a bigger cooper ripped from the board, lets say mosfet pad... i reconstract it with cooper sheet, then i "glue it" with solder mask...then i use UV light...and let it cool a bit. After, i try to clean the cooper of extra solder mask..and till that part all is ok. But, when i use a soldering iron to solder that pad/cooper...the solder mask gets weaker or destroyed and finally the pad is ripped again from the board .
          Is there any solder mask...
