Hi, im new in badcap scene, hehe, okey, i try before try to repair a old ibm motherboard with 3 cap bad, i try with a bad motherboard remove capacitors. Its a bit hard, i use a Desoldering Solder Removal Vacuum Sucker Pump Tool, for try to remove solder, but is hard, i try again , and nothing cant still remove all the solder of capacitor. Whats the best technique for remove all solder? i dont wanna damage the board for make a bad thing. I have a bad board for practice, any tip is really welcomed..thx!!

Re: newbie IBM motherboard
There are some good help in this forum section; https://www.badcaps.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=24
I use a stainless needle myself to poke though the board while heating the old solder with the soldering iron
If you are asking how to remove the capacitor you should not remove the solder, you should add a bit of solder to the old solder, so it helps you to heat it up, then you can wiggle the capacitor out carefully, and after that the needle approach to get a clean hole for the new cap"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it." -

Hi Enito
Welcome to the Forum!
A multi-layer motherboard is a more difficult project to start with.
The board probably has many conductors and ground planes that will draw heat away, making desoldering difficult and increasing the chance of damaging it.
That said, here's some tips:
1- Make sure the iron or heated sucker is very hot. You will probably need a 40-60 watt iron. If it's adjustable, select the highest heat.
2- Add some more solder to the connection first. This will accomplish two things: More surface area for the iron to contact and it may lower the melting point of the existing solder.
3- Don't allow the iron to touch the board. Only make contact with the solder and component lead.
4- Work fast to reduce chance of damaging the board.
Using this procedure I often remove enough solder on the first try so that the capacitor is loose and will easily pull out.
Those motherboard are the hardest that I've done.
Good Luck,
Keri
PS. Make sure that you use an appropriate replacement capacitor. Most motherboard caps are special "Low ESR" or "Ultra-Low ESR" capacitors.The More You Learn The Less You Know!Comment

Re: newbie IBM motherboard
Hi, finally i removed the capacitors, thx guy...now i have a doubt, i want replace someones from another bad board capacitor. The bad ones is the green ones : 1000uf 6.3v wg(m) -40+105c , want replace with the other ones darkones is like : 1500uf 6.3v GLUXON 5c to 105c, if possible? i attach you some photos with capacitors and showing one bad from board , is a ibm motherboard. thx a lot for your time.Attached FilesComment

Re: newbie IBM motherboard
why waste the time?Originally posted by enito
too many good sources for replacements.
i bet tc/badcaps.net even has a kit for that board.Comment

Re: newbie IBM motherboard
fix it now, not when it burns due to dried up caps. save yourself a board.sigpic

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... -
Hi All,
So my friend was visiting and he wanted to use my solder bench to solder on some WLED circuit board. My laptop was open on the side for RAM upgrade. I know my mistake.
So while soldering he had too much solder on the soldering iron tip and he just shook off the soldering iron on the table itself to remove extra solder on the soldering tip and it landed on the motherboard of laptop. He then out of fear tried to remove it using solder wick and did more damage by removing some components as well. So here I am with weird situation.
I have not tried putting... -
Problem
This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached.... -
Hello.
I have a soldering station, 862D+, and every time the hot air gun is on, even if it is just cooling off, the soldering iron controller stops controlling. Let me explain what has happened so far, as it took a while to get to this.
First, the switch that turns on the hot air gun started to fail, the light came on, but temp never rose, I would have to switch it multiple time to get the gun to start heating, this was due to the contact inside being carbonized. I opened the switch up, clean the contacts, and it would work fin for a while until carbonized again. So, I ordered a switch... -
What temperature with the heat gun should be use to remove large and small chips from the laptop and mobilephones motherboard? My problem is that the chips not easily remove from the motherboard, example 380°C degrees. I don't know if there is a difference with the devices that the temperature is not stable with them even it shows the right temperature, what should it be? I don't know if I should use higher temperature but the risk of destroying other components?
I have device Sugon 202. I'm used also normal flux and rosin flux.09-12-2023, 12:44 AM
