    Can't Melt Solder on Power Board

    I am changing a bunch of capacitors on a power board in my 47pfl7403d/f7 & cannot budge any solder. I've tried adding new solder with no luck. My Hako iron is at 750. Thanks for any help.

    A small tip don´t have enough power to heat a big surface . Do you have a heat gun ? if so you must heat the whole area before using the iron . Then put some new lead solder to make it easier .

      Dont solder with a heatgun , you might destroy other parts.

      You need a good solder iron. 85W solder iron is more then enough to desolder capacitors.
      You probably need a bigger tip otherwise the board will take all the heat and the solder wont melt....
      I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

        I'd suggest, first add more solder to cap legs then use sucker pump .

          heat the whole area BEFORE using the iron

              I got the solder to melt.... I needed to reset the Hako unit & was fine. Thanks for the replies.
