Re: Soldering Iron sizing

Thanks everyone.
I was able to recap the PS in the LCD monitor and the monitor is working again. It did take awhile to un-solder the caps. Just had to be patient for the old solder to melt.

Greetings members,
I'm going to be replacing some capacitors for an LCD monitor (following this thread [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8844"]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8844[/URL]), and I wanted to see what suggestions there are for soldering irons.

I have two pen type soldering irons. One is rated at 15W, and the other is 35W. I've been using the 35W over the years, but it's been years since electronic classes, and I can't remember at what point to use the lower wattage one.

The pcb doesn't have any (sensitive?)...
