A couple of videos ago I made a Beginners Tutorial on SMD Soldering, and I made a rather bold statement. I said that SMD is EASY and ANYONE can do it! Well, there is only one way to prove or disprove that one... give a soldering iron to someone who never used one before, and see what happens. Enjoy. And DON'T miss the out-takes at the end :D

@englishrupe01 Год назад

What a lovely lady that is willing to be your victim and get stuck in soldering. Great video from you both, thanks. On the de-soldering, though, i have come across some power supply boards whose components have a red dot of glue underneath and they will NOT come off. Those are a real bugger. Anyway, thanks Richard and Sarah for a great, fun video.

Excellent teacher but also an excellent student...excellent initiative, Star Trek, the next generation...safe hand, good eye for electronic miniatures...generals become admirals and young people develop their creativity, under the "magnifying glass" of the admiral...and, most importantly, he doesn't need "magnifying glasses" to feel "how and how much"...the 6th sense develops from the beginning...this wonderful young man...with an excellent teacher, the student will be on the same level as the teacher...he still needs the experience and technical knowledge of the admiral teacher... I subscribe from now on to the student's channel, without forgetting what I learned from the teacher... respect and follow with interest, Dan, RO... PS: at least in your country, young people (the future of the human race) have a serious chance of learning and affirmation... here, in S-E Europe, things are at the lowest level... corruption, laziness to read and learn, praise the governing party in 2023....at least you, there, in true freedom, to teach us something....long life to RU-vid and to those who still teach us the basics, such as the future admiral of the European fleet. ..it's not praise, it's my opinion and it's the reality from my country

You mention equipment as being an important factor in learning this kind of work.

@KeritechElectronics Год назад

Oh my, that's super fun to watch! But then, soldering and desoldering a bunch of caps doesn't compare to doing those pesky little IC buggers. I learned SMT work in 2020 when I was building an automatic vacuum tube tester. I could do 0603 with no microscope, but anything smaller is way out there.

@IansMusical Год назад

Richard, What camera setup are you using to view the board on the screen? Is it easy to solder looking at the screen rather than the actual board? Greetings from the UK.

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

I have two 'cameras' over the bench - a C Mount camera with 5mm-50mm zoom lens, and the Andonstar AD407 microscope mounted upside down and suspended from the wooden baton that supports the fluorescent lighting. This video was using the Andonstar, it connects to a USB3-HDMI capture card for recording on the PC connected to the left hand monitor and the HDMI pass-through connects directly to the right hand monitor you can see. I normally use my trinocular optical microscope for soldering, it is much easier with stereo vision, but as you see on my videos I can do it this way too.

@fsociety.dat101 3 месяца назад

When I use the braid, the braid never absorbs the solder. I have a temp of 450c, plenty of flux on the braid itself, and a clean soldering tip. A couple of times I held it down for so long that the braid became stuck to the board.

@fu1r4 Год назад

Why do you heat only one side of the component when you de-soldering? You can heat both side on both large or small SMD components.

@harrygood4783 Год назад

Hi Richard what a flirt you are!! Hope Sarah enjoyed her experience with you, it's honorable you take the time to show how easy something really is, nothing should be out of the scope of difficultly if you apply the right technic and the training to anyone really, the enjoyment that can achieved when you get it right can be overwhelming whatever your doing, and small SMD components are notoriously difficult solder with an iron, but if the right technic is used, then the results speak for themselves and indeed you did what you set out to prove.

@rizeninfinite Год назад

With micro soldering, I've been reading that you need to use a microscope because there is lag when using a screen. Is the screen they are using a special screen with no lag?

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

The one used on this video is a Andonstar AD407. This has HDMI output and any microscope that has that instead of USB should have no lag at all. So my second best advice is to buy a microscope with HDMI output. My first best advice is to buy a binocular optical microscope (or Trinocular simulfocal optical microscope + C-Mount camera if you want to record video from it as well) because using any other type of microscope is like microsoldering with one eye closed. Some people seem to be OK with that, personally I'm not, but to see if that will bother you put an eyepatch on and try soldering for a while before purchasing.

@rizeninfinite Год назад

@@LearnElectronicsRepair Thanks for replying! I've been looking into the AD407. You say there is no lag with HDMI, but what about the screen that comes with the microscope?

@boromoose Год назад

3:01 Flux expiration date of 06/2022 makes me feel better using my flux with the same date. Does it really expire that quickly, or are they just trying to get you to throw it away and buy more solder?

@englishrupe01 Год назад

Yep, resin has no expiry date....its solvent just may dry up. It's a con. Maybe if it's "activated" that may vary, i am not sure. But don't use activated flux, anyway.

@redemptusrenatus5336 Год назад

I agree, it's a con the expiration date on flux. What definitely has an expiration date is solder paste which has a binder and solder beads in it to use with stencils or applied by dabbing on the PCB and then sticking the components down. It degrades over time so if you need it, buy it and use it but don't buy some to store for later as it'll just go bad if you don't regularly use it up. There are newer formulas that can last longer outside of refrigeration, but best check the specifications before assuming.

@eolhcytoos Год назад

The tip of your soldering iron looks like it needs re-tinning. The heat transfer would then be much improved to the component.

@shagreobe Год назад

Well done Sarah! You have to come back more since you are much better looking than Richard! And Happy Birthday!

@badgerfool1980 Год назад

Hi Richard, what's the best thing to do with a car boot MB with a short on 12v? I noticed an 0402 resistor off one pad and touching the capacitor next to it so I removed it and figured I should probably measure it, I turned on my multimeter and placed the probes either side of the component and it read 22, I'm not sure what it was measuring 22 of, ohms? perhaps kiloohms? I have no clue because at this point the 0402 resistor decided it would like to explore my room a bit and excitedly jumped over my shoulder. I spend a good 20 minutes on the floor with my torch but I have to assume it made it's way out of my room, down the stairs, out of the front door and is now exploring the big wide world. I have looked everywhere I can think of (yes including badcaps :)) and boardview or schematics don't seem to exist so I'm at a bit of a loss. I wish the little 0402 well on it's travels but I wish I could let it know in some way the angst it has caused me.

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

Whereabouts on the board did the resistor come from?

@badgerfool1980 Год назад

@@LearnElectronicsRepair Hey Richard, it's just below the CPU, I think it's on a line between the CPU and the BIOS chip. I'm not overly concerned about it as it's disappearance had no affect on the short anyway and I can probably double my money if not more by moving it on for spares or repair. Would have been nice to get it working but I posted more to relay my frustration at the disappearing component :)

@LearnElectronicsRepair Год назад

@@badgerfool1980 If it connects from pin 1 of the bios chip to either ground or 3.3V (maybe 5V if it is a vintage BIOS) then just stick 10K in there and see what happens. If it is connecting between CPU and BIOS try something low value like 100R or less. But like you say, it will not be the cause of the short. You don't mention which motherboard (CPU type) it is. Does the short on 12V go away if you remove the CPU?

@badgerfool1980 Год назад

@@LearnElectronicsRepair It's AM4, a Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite V1 to be precise. The short on 12v does indeed go away with the CPU removed, what does that indicate and how did you know?! LOL I had a better look around with my loupe and a poke around with my multimeter and the resistor was actually not connected to the bios chip, the capacitor next to it was - doh (note to self order sharper probes) one end of it connects to a small 6 pin component marked "YJ" right near the bios chip and i'm still trying to trace the other pad.
