Alright folks - what are your pro tips for #desoldering? @lcamtuf you’re my only hope 😅

When you're too lazy to turn on the hot air station, but need to desolder some SMT chip: https://youtu.be/5vvSg-I8Ymw

ZEUS MINING ASIC miner maintenance knowledge:
When using tweezers and a portable desoldering gun to remove the heat sink on the Antminer S9 hash board, the temperature must be controlled at around 450 degrees Celsius.

So I have a couple of ICs to remove from my #bbcmaster 128 PCB. These are bog standard through hole components. I was toying with the idea of using my hot air station, but is it advisable to use this on old PCBs? I had an issue before with a #commodore #vic20 PCB that seemed to bubble and warp with very little heat... #desoldering

After I have seen the gear of @svenpetersen191, I decided to up my desoldering game and got me this desoldering gun. The SS-331H is basically the same as the ZD-915. It's a fairly cheap Chinese product. But I noticed a lot of other people working on vintage gear use it.

So far I've used a suction pump, solder wick and a heat gun, which got me through. The heat gun works well for SMD stuff. But it's a beast and am always scared of using it on old hardware. #RetroComputing #Electronics #Soldering #Desoldering

📎 rappel quand ont déssoude un composant #smt à l'air chaud pour le remplacer comme un switch par exemple, tjs recouvrir avec un peu de ruban capton-polyimide l'environement autour de la pièce. Ça permet d'éviter de perdre des résistances ou des condensateurs plus petits qu'un demi-millimètre, s'ils tombent les attrapper avec le plat des doigts #desoldering
