Re: desoldering iron

thank you it's a great visual I think I could make something like that. Thank you very much I would post it after I'm done with the project, maybe in a month I would be able to take care of that.

Re: desoldering iron



I am thinking this is something similar to [url=http://www.instructables.com/id/Vacuum-to-Wet-Vac/]the vacuum to wet vacuum project[/url].

Could you please elaborate on this concept. I have an idea to connect the vacuum on the cap of a bottle then another hole for a tube connected to the end of a mechanical desoldering pump. and to prevent the solder in entering the vacuum the hole for the vacuum should be higher and far away from the tube connected to the tube sucking the solder. Or I could just have the tube enter the jar half...

Re: desoldering iron

thanks for the help I was thinking something similar to the ordinary vacuum to wet vacuum project at instructables. but I am thinking it would not be good because the vacuum is probably weak (because it is cheap)

Re: desoldering iron

Where could I get that guide for a desoldering pump that is foot activated? The one pcbonez was referring to.
I was thinking of making one using this [url=http://www.cdrking.com/local/products/index.php?action=mnu&temp=2&typeno=4919615-033705-053249444-3334327&prod=Vacuum%20Cleaners&prodcode=3104409-387310-175602414-8019525]vacuum cleaner[/url]
I was just thinking of a way not to let the solder be sucked into the vacuum pump. I am just looking for guides mostly on how that contraption should work. I have been looking for it at instructables...

Re: ga-7vrxp rev 2.0

actually the powergood trace is gone (burned right off), I could not anything left of it to where it should be routed to.

The trace where I routed the power good was connected to the pin 7 using this (I suppose a) ceramic cap. I might have connected it the wrong way perhaps?

The board works for a while then it doesn't even make it to a point to save the settings for the bios. Maybe I'll try to figure out what this does. Maybe it's not the correct trace.

Maybe someone who has the board can help me which traces the...

Re: ga-7vrxp rev 2.0

Thanks for the reply but I already removed the old connectors plastic which was burnt. I happen to burn the pads, I meant the trace or leads.

I'm sorry that I was not clear.

The processor works fine. I don't know about by test video card. I also tried my good video card once and it has the same problem as the other card it boots and shows post and then the display is gone a few seconds later.

My question is about the mystery part that I desoldered from the front picture beside the atx connector with dark red or maroon...

Need your help I have no experience in soldering when I tried to change the atx connector on my 7vrxp I burnt one of the leads and a few years later I stubled upon this website from a local forum. Then it sparked interest for my old board.

I have a little idea on electronics but very much a newbie on that regard.

It would boot and show posts and then the screen will go blank.

My motherboard's atx connector burned with my antec psu which came with my antec tower.

The pad that burned is pin number 8 and it's is the power ok signal.
