    Cleaning PCB? my bad Solder Technique

    Hi.Again I hope I am in the right forum... I removed two SMD Mosfets on my power board and I am not happy and would welcome any tip on how I clean it up prior to my soldering new mosfets on....I have attached two photos ..one of a new board and one of my board ... you will see the difference... Can anybody advise me please on the technique I should apply to clean up the area where the Mosfets came off ..Thanks Hk

      Liquid flux , solder wick, isopropyl alcohol...

      Apply liquid flux on the solder wick, put the wick over the solder, heat it up and let it absorb the solder.

      Clean the pad and surroundings with alcohol as the black stuff is burnt flux as far as I can tell.

      Apply a new layer of solder over the pad before applying the new mosfets

              Depends on if your using Lead Free or regular 60/40 (or other) type solder. The lead free stuff melts at a higher temperature. Check the package the solder came in for a melting point.
              Have you ever stopped to think and then forget to start thinking again?

              As a very wise man once said on this forum: "Of all the things I have lost I miss my mind the most."

                  Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                  by acedogblast
                  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...

                  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...

                  Harman Kardon sub TS11 (ds15 amplifer) blows fuse and mosfets
                  by BlackScreen_22
                  Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert and I've reached a point where I don't know what to try/do anymore...
                  Starting from the beginning: I opened this subwoofer for the first time with a very strong smell of burnt electrical components, I realize that on the amplifier board there is a hole between V+ OUT and GND about the size of a finger, the damaged components were the shorted mosfets, two damaged zener diodes and two capacitors. I bought everything, I fixed the hole by cutting the pcb and putting a piece of a perforated board.
                  I had no problems connecting mosfets and capacitors,...

                  Intel D865PERL - no Vcore after replacing MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers
                  by kotel studios
                  Hi,

                  Finally got time to fix this board up.
                  At first it didn't give any POST codes. Turns out it was an unsupported Celeron D cpu. After dropping in an Celery 2.6gHz the CPU came out of reset with clock signal, but still no post codes. For a while it did work when I applied pressure to the ADP3168 chip, but on next reboot the MOSFETs started to burn. Then I left it as is for months.

                  Now I came back prepared. Replaced the bad MOSFETs and the ADPxx18k drivers. Now I don't get any MOSFETs blowing up issues anymore. But sadly, the Vcore is missing. The whole VRM isn't...

                  A Dead/DOA Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU
                  by momaka
                  More eBay specials: this time a Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU for $8 with free S&H. Listed “For part/not working”, as usual. Showed up in a beat up EVGA box without any padding… but that's understandable given the total price. PSU made it out fine without damage. It's a non-modular (yay!), pretty modern-day looking PSU with a black paint and all black cables (meh, not my favorite, but figure it's good to keep a few of these in case I do need one for a more modern PC build, just so my old gray boxes don't look too odd in there.)
