        Cool. I was actually curious to see the Radio Shack 45W desoldering iron in action since I was thinking about buying one.

        Video itself looks good. For this particular video, though, I think it would have been better if you had the camera aimed at the PCB at an angle rather than look overhead.

            i kinda did angle it a tad.... I didn't want to have to fuss with the focus though.

            it was meant to be a "perspective" shot.

                Slightly late to the parade, but...

                I liked your vids. Short and to the point.

                I'm seeing what looks like my setup: a trusty Weller WP-25, a few Radio Shack irons, and that wonderful desoldering iron.

                Yeah, I'm what they call a "cheapass SOB".

                Yes, I've used professional equipment, but for my home use (and the average hobbyist), Radio Shack isn't as bad, tool-wise, as others would have you believe. So, when one is just wanting to re-cap a mobo or PSU to get back up and running, yelling at them to order ~$500 of hot-air rework, flux pens, chip-quick (R), and solder pots online kinda rubs me the wrong way. I just tell 'em to hit their local Rat Shack, drop about $30 or so, and "Git 'er dun".

                When they get done with their fourth or fifth mobo or PSU, then get the good stuff, as they've just found a new career.

                    funny that you mention that.

                    my eqip isn't too pricey either; i have about $55 invested in the actual recapping tools... but the tool box and other tools (multimeter, scewdriver set, pliers, strippers, etc.) put it closer to $175 (I paid less due to sales and the like)

                        Philips 58PUS7805 Menu working but no/weird picture from video sources
                        by Ierwin
                        Hello everyone,

                        I got a 58pus7805 that shows some weird behavior.
                        The menu and remote work fine and the picture is looking crisp and flawless while navigating the menu.
                        However, when a video source is displayed the screen either goes solid green (HDMI), solid black (SAT TV) or shows some fragments on mostly green background (AVI Playback from USB).

                        I tried to reinstall the firmware through the menu which was rejected saying it already had the latest version.
                        I managed to install the latest official firmware by holding the control button while plugging...

                        Tv shows no issues other than no backlight. Picture was visible with flashlight and menu navigation possible with audible responses.

                        Polyester film Capacitor c620 27nf (on power supply board had visible brown discoloration, but is not shorted. Replaced with suitable spare and now working properly. (Apparently this is a known issue with this series.)

                        Backlights tested independently with tester and registered ~140vs on each.

                        AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
                        by turmix
                        Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

                        The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
                        At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

                        During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

                        No video when trying to unlock Lenovo T420
                        by aaroncm
                        Hi guys,

                        Today I pulled 5 Lenovo T420 laptops out of a bin at the rubbish tip, and they're old school laptops and they're all locked with a supervisor password.

                        In the past I've unlocked similar Lenovo laptops, often I used the trick of shorting a few pins together on the chip on boot to get into the GUI and overwrite the config but it doesn't look like that is working with these laptops. I guess Lenovo fixed that trick? I have unlocked some other HP laptops by reading the chip, running a patch and re-writing back.

                        But I can't work out these T420...

                        Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
                        by lostone
                        Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

                        First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
                        When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...
