Re: Polaroid TLX-04244B Image Quality Question

I should know better... search first - post if you don't find anything. Using advanced search to narrow down to the Equipment Usage, Soldering, Techniques, and Reviews board I found that someone had posted about Arctic Silver making a 2 part epoxy thermal paste https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ight=heat+sink

You really don't need adhesive because the pad needs to make contact with heat sink or it does no good. You can also buy the thermal pad: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...e+Pad&_sacat=0

Well... I successfully screwed that up!! Good thing I got the unit for free else I'd be really upset with myself... as it is I'm pleased with the learning experience. I practiced the removal a few times on an old PC motherboard and wasn't really having any issue but simply couldn't get the pins of the AS-15F free. Somehow I managed to remove a few of the pads from the PCB so this project is done. Tv isn't worth trying to buy a T-Con board so.

At least I upgraded my crap soldering iron for a nice 2 'n 1 SMD rework station. The iron on that thing is NICE.

Thanks for all the tips and advice... I'm sure I'll come up with other projects to hone my skills on.

Not as easy as replacing caps
