Hi , thank you for your comment . I have a mixture on my channel , some highly difficult , more skilful methods on soldering and some methods that can really aid the hobbyist solderer who hasn't all the expensive gear that you may need . That's why if I can I like to show these alternative methods as I feel that's so important as well . Hopefully this channel can help a few people out with their soldering / desoldering issues . Thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment, I'm glad the videos have been of use to you . All I aim to do is hopefully help a few people that would be great . Thanks again and good luck with all your soldering projects in the future , take care 👍

@@mrsolderfix3996 yes sir you just help me remove a relay on guitar pedal in a tight spot. Pad is intact and the replacement will go in shortly. Flux FluX and Flux!!

Hi , thank you for letting me know your good news . Glad I could help you . Good luck with all your soldering projects in the future , and thank you again for supporting my channel , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. I've always been reluctant to mention to people to use leaded solder as although I 100 % agree with you about ease of use for rework some people frown upon it's use due to harmful fumes etc . So whether I mention it or not I will always be wrong in some people's eyes. Thanks again for taking the time to comment 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated . I've got quite a few different iron tips for the one I use mainly ( Weller TCP S ) , you're definitely right , most half decent irons will give you a good choice of differing tips . Thanks again , take care 👍

Hi. I'll try and do another removal video sometime soon and I'll hopefully include a USB connector . Thanks for your support , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. The flux I have used for many years is SMFL200D . Unfortunately it's recently been discontinued so I'm in the process of trying to find a suitable equivalent. I have some samples coming so if I'm happy with one of these I will post about it on RU-vid. I'm sorry I couldn't help you further at this time . Thanks again , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. The solder I generally use is Sn100SB lead free 0.25mm or 0.5mm. This is a great lead free solder that gives the shiny appearance of leaded solder. I get it from a company called BLT Circuits ( England ) , hope that helps , thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your support, very kind of you . I'm glad you enjoy my channel . Thanks again , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for watching the video and for commenting. The iron I normally always use is a Weller TCP S iron , and I generally use only 2 different types of tip . A PTP7 ( small conical ) and a DD8 ( large flat sided ) I find these 2 tips do generally anything I need to do . Sometimes I use a miniature Metcal iron for amazingly intricate work . Temperatures I generally use are about 330 degrees for leaded and 350 to 360 degrees for unleaded . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍

@@mrsolderfix3996 Thanks for responding and for the information! I also use the conical tip for pretty much everything!

Hi , no problem , thanks for your support , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. I have used low melt in the past to aid with some rework but I find now leaded solder helps just as much so that's what I use if needed. Hope that helps , thanks again 👍

Hi. I guess low melt solder is quite expensive and not readily available.

Hi , thank you for your comment . I've just posted a complete video on my channel totally dedicated to Tweezers , brands , tips , costs etc . Hopefully this video is of use to you . Thanks again , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting, much appreciated 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. In this video I used a Weller TCP S soldering iron with 2 different types of tips. The small conical tip was a PTP7 and the large flat sided tips were DD8's . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. When I'm wicking out small holes sometimes I have to add some fresh solder before I then try and wick it out . I always add flux to my solder wick and place a small amount of solder on my iron tip , the flux makes the braid so much more responsive to sucking the solder up the wick , people who have tried this say how much it has helped them . Dry braid just isn't as good even though it's the normal way people use it . Also I try and wick out from both sides of the holes if I'm struggling and use leaded solder as well if you can , also a great help for reworking . I will try and do a video in the near future on this subject . Hopefully you get on ok , thanks again and take care 👍

It would depend on the solder and your iron, but I would go for between 320 and 350 degrees on those pads to minimise contact time

Hi , thank you for your comment. The most important question is what is the make up of your board . Is it multilayered , i.e does it have internal layers ? Or is it simply a double sided board with no inner layers ? If it's simply double sided you should be ok . In this case I would just remove the barrels ( or you could just leave them on the legs ), place the component back in position and solder the top and bottom of the board separately as you will have no barrels , or damaged barrels to take the solder from one side to the other . You can refit the barrels if you wish , up to you. If on the other hand you have inner layers simply putting barrels back in will not work as these inner layers would have become detached from the barrels and won't all reconnect . Having a schematic drawing may allow you to pick up other points on the PCB to possibly reconnect these damaged layers to their relevant points. Hopefully you've just got double sided . Hope that helps a little , good luck and thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. I've been using wick for many years , dragging and dabbing . Never damage any pads . I use different methods for different situations, always a good result . Thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. One thing I constantly tell people is to add flux to their braid , lots of people have commented to me about this tip . I never add solder to the braid , personally I find it's better to add a small amount to your iron tip and then wick off this way . Thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for watching the video , much appreciated 👍👍

Hi , thank you for your question. Yes the new BGA does have solder balls on every pad . You can send your old BGA's off to get re-balled , lots of electronic companies offer this service . There is generally enough solder on a new BGA to get a very good contact without any existing solder on the board pads. Ideally you would stencil solder paste on these pads but like I say it can be done with just the component balls . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. If I'm doing leaded soldering I use roughly 330 degrees Celsius and lead free roughly 360 - 375 degrees Celsius. I tend to generally stick to these temperatures but may vary them slightly for certain components. Hope that helps. Thanks again , take care 👍

Isopropyl alcohol

Hi , thank you for your comment. I actually use a fluid called Ultrasolve . It's the best PCB cleaning fluid I've ever used , way better than isopropyl alcohol. Hope that helps , thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I've used them in the past but not anymore . Simple reason really . 2 soldering irons is a much more flexible option such as you can bring your irons in at different angles if nearby parts are in the way . You can also take any width of component off whereas again soldering tweezers limit this . It's the flexibility that is key . I will never go back to Soldering tweezers personally but some people do like them . I guess it's personal choice . Thanks again , take care 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. This is just a removal video . To replace the BGA you are right , ideally you would run it through a PCB oven , or a hobbyist would probably do it with a hot air rework station . But like I say this is just showing removal and clean up .Thanks again 👍

Hi , thank you for your comment. The HEATGUN was set to about 400 degrees for the BGA removal as it was soldered with lead free solder . The diode would have been a little lower . My normal method is to start about 375 degrees and keep tweaking upwards if the component is proving difficult to remove . I also find upping the airflow as you up the temperature is a great thing to do and really helps . Hope that helps , take care 👍

@@mrsolderfix3996 Thank you! I am just beginning to use heatgun.

Hi , no problem , I hope you get on ok 👍
