Excuse the noob question, but where would I measure PPVCORE_S0_AXG?
I searched for the net in BV, but can't seem to locate that components.
Where would I measure it in this case?
You can get an controller for it about $15!

What do you think of a fan like this? http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B01C6IJTOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459789572&sr=8-1&keywords=horticulture+fan

That would be interesting...at the shop I work it, all the techs downloaded an app called Pacer to count our daily steps. We created a group on the app and everyday is a competition for who gets the most steps. It's been kind of fun and encourages everyone to be more active.
So let's all agree that the fume extractor prices are outrages. $600 bucks for a box with fans and filters plus another $120 for some hakko color coordinated hose?
I'm convinced we can build better fume extractor for a fraction of the cost.

Got pack of 20gauge blunt tip needles and they are too small for for the Amtech 559 flux. Useable, but too small. That's what happens when you try to save $5 and not buy the assortment pack :(
What gauge do you guys use? How do you dispense your flux? Do you keep it in the 30cc syringe or use...
Don't forget to disconnect the board from power (MagSafe and battery!!!) before removing components
Be extremely careful while measuring components (especially around the LVDS connector) when board is powered on
probably some of the stupidest things I've done while in a rush, that resulted in...
I started with an Aoyue 2703A+ Station. Originally it was not purchased for board work. It was bought as a basic soldering station with air rework capabilities for swapping chips on hard drive PCBs for data recovery. For that purpose, the station was excellent. It was like $300 and seemed to...
There wasn't any corrosion around the LVDS connector. I can replace it anyway just be sure. It's just odd that I'm getting a black screen with the backlight working as opposed to the white screen that I should be getting. Plugged it into another display and it does the same thing. Display is...
You have a good point. I do want to have the 5mm tip if I ever need to work on something with larger components than a MacBook board...but I think I'm gonna pick a 2mm chisel tip as well.
Thanks for the insight!
