Lithium grease is what we used when I was working for a certain outfit back then.

Led status indicator light transfer plastic

by Kemer

Hello, the LED status indicators on my Lenovo Z580 are not working. Actually the motherboard LEDs are working but the light doesn''t coming to the front view. The plastic part is which you can see in photo must transfer the light to the frontview but just half of the plastic is illuminating.

There are three status indicators on the front (power, battery, caps lock), and none of them are illuminated.

The plastic piece doesn't appear to be broken.

1. What are your suggestions for resolving this issue?

2. Is the plastic piece made of special ma...

A1312 (27” iMac 2009-2011) A1407 (Thunderbolt Display) A1316 (Cinema Display) Display Black Screen Repair

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....

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...

Soldering plastic low profile FPC close camera CMOS sensor ?

by corrize

Hello, I will have to solder a very small FPC connector (pins : 0.3mm), on the pcb of CMOS sensor, it is very close. I was surprised by movie on ytb, someone soldering directly with hot air directly on the sensor without kapton, nothing.
CMOS sensor seems resist to high temps.
But I also directly saw sensor broken because a blocked motor at the corner became very hot and probably bent the metal frame and cracked the sensor.

I have low melting point solder.
I will probably test hot air directly on one of plastic connector (I have a lot) at 320 degree on a test...

Build A Tool For Battery Spot Weld Removal with a Geared Servo Controller

by sam_sam_sam

I going to build one of these DIY projects for removing battery tabbing I saw this YouTube video last night and got inspired to make one for myself to make this process easier to do and keep damage to batteries to a minimum and keep stress level down as well

Here is the video website link
