I know that it's been quite a while since this video's release, but could you share some idea lead and non lead teams? Otherwise, awesome video. Much appreciated!
YOu do not use a birnishing thing to preclean a soldering surface as you are merely spreading metal between conductive surfaces. You use an acid brush with isopropyl alcohol. The poster doesn't mention the selection of solder for the process. Ideally it should be 63/37 (tin/lead) because it is the lowest meldting point of the compound. This is NOT good solding instruction for sure.
I really like this lightweight kindle & the fact that the color is on both back & front - ru-vid.comUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp I just wish that Amazon would put the on/off button on the TOP of the kindle so I didn't keep turning it off while trying to hold on to it. And WTF were they thinking when the changed the size of the charging port? I own 4 kindles and now 3 work off of the same mini charger, the same one as my phone, but this new one is a different size so I have to have its "special" charger with me or a second kindle in case the battery goes flat.
Damn, this is such a seamless tutorial that could have taken far more time to master even though I have intermediate experience. And here I thought that this was hard, but these techniques done by this person is so precise that I cannot believe it. Heck, now I'm getting a little jealous.
My tip doesn't seem to "suck" remaining molten solder up. In fact, the solder tends to get trapped between the legs on the chip. Am I doing something wrong? How would you get solder out from in between legs, when multiple connections are made with one glob of solder?
