    De-Soldering & Soldering Dr-Mos on a Graphica Card

    Hellow guys, i recently have a Asus 4070 Ti, and a EVGA 3090 Ftw3 both with Dr-Mos Problems.

    My question is this : I am having real difficult time desolderig and solder again a new Dr-Mos. Is taking for ever to do the job, especially when you have to disolder the dr-mos and with the IC you are taking along caps, resistances and ... welcome to hell!

    I am using a pre-heater board with a temp of 120C and a Quick 861DW 480 Temp air 80. And with all these its like a nightmare take out these IC's and apply fresh solder and install a new one.

    So i am asking you if you have seen a guide , how to , or something on how to do the job with minimun risk of making worst.

    Thank you for your time.

    thats because the temp on preheater is temp on heater element, not the temp on card. use Kprobe to check. i must turn my preheater to maximum temp/400c/ just to have 120c on card by 10minutes. i use 340c on hotair and it desolder drmos by ten seconds

      I do confirm, 120 C at preheater is much too less, I go 300 C at preheater (2-3 cm distance), and 400-440 at hot air, with a small size nozzle. For desoldering you need more heat as the tin used factory side is leadless (melting at 254 C), where the tin u use for refitting is most probably leaded (melting at 224 C). The smd devices near the mosfets can be blown off position, so use ca 1/3 - 1/2 max. air flow. You need some time to get the right temperature, as the coils near the mosfets are quite massive, and steel the heat from the board, as long as they do not reach temperature.

      Remember to very good isolate the electrolytic caps near the mosfets, they are quite sensitive to heat. They can even explode and hurt your eyes or so, so this is very important. Protective glasses are not a bad idea. For isolation I use some 1 or 2 layer of tetra-pack material and 3-5 add. layers of capton tape, capton towards the heat. Tetra-pack is costless, and reduces the cost as you do not need so much capton tape.

          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

          Desoldering - soldering BGA chip close plastic mini fpc connectors ?
          by corrize
          Hello, I need your advise please ? I need to remove and replace the BGA black chip with fpc connectors around. The PCB is small, from camera.

          There is no plastic component directly under, on the other face, (only fuse and oscillator I can remove if they are sensitives to heat), but there is a lot of very small smd components I don't want to desolder by mistake.

          I have :
          - hot air, and a
          ll stuff around
          - true kapton tape
          - 140 and 180 degree soldering paste
          - bismuth
          - little hot plate 250 degree max
          - the new BGA chip with probably
          ...

          HP Victus 15-FA1025NL , board DAG3PAMB8D0 REV:D, shorted CPU DrMOS and n-mos
          by modtool
          Hi to all,
          the owner of this machine gave it to me after having opened it to take off the dust from the inside, telling me that after that it didn't start anymore.
          I found that one of the DrMOS (AOZ5016QI) on the CPUCORE was shorted between VIN and VSWH, and that one of the two n-mos connected to the power jack was shorted aswell.
          I unsoldered the two shorted components and verified that there were no other short circuits, then decided to power the mainboard, firstly with the lab power supply, then with its original HP 200w charger, but the behaviour is the same, the board starts...

          Elitebook 840 G5 Bios Chip Soldering Question
          by Azurain
          Hi everyone,

          I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5 that I am trying to get working again. I've removed the front bios chip (the 32mb one) and have run it through HP unlocker already. I've uploaded and verified the new bin, but am now experiencing an issue that has led me to believe I've been soldering the chip back to the motherboard incorrectly.

          Essentially, after re-soldering the chip back into its place and reassembling the laptop, the charging light immediately flashes orange and white and then shifts to a solid white. The capslock and numlock lights blink seven times...

          Drying Oven - Preset Temp Fail
          by tmcw
          Here's an unusual one...

          This is a Gallenkamp oven, used in a laboratory space, goes up to 220 Celcius, but is usually maintained at about 115 Celcius. Used for drying glassware, molecular sieves, and so on. Oven is in excess of 20 years old.

          It heats up fine, there is an orange light on the front that indicates that the unit is heating, and when it reaches the preset temp, the orange light goes out. All good so far.

          However, after the preset temp is reached, the temperature continues to rise, power to the heating elements isn't cut off.
