    hot tweezer functionality under $500

    Is this possible? I have the hakko fx951 but it's not compatible with hakko's tweezers. I've seen portable units under $100 but they're not designed to handle very small smd's. has anyone tried using two soldering irons? thanks for any help!

    Where do you all get schematics/.brd files?

    I have about a 75% success rate finding one on the web. I subscribe to Vinafix, and sometimes I find one for free. Is there a definitive resource that lists/knows if something is available and when to not waste time looking? I'm a monthly subscriber on this forum--is it ok to ask here if I can't...

    820-01069-B, hoping you have this iMac schematic and/or boardview file

    thank you, I'd like to think I would've done that if I could positively identify components on this board without the schematic/.brd, basically blind right now without those. Some areas of the board are the same as 820-00034, other areas like the LCD are not. I'll inspect/repair/replace the...

    820-01069-B, hoping you have this iMac schematic and/or boardview file

    never mind, I plodded along and searched through digi-key long enough to find what I was looking for "RES 0.05 OHM 1% 1/16W 0402" ?

    820-01069-B, hoping you have this iMac schematic and/or boardview file

    I found another board's schematic/.brd that is essentially identical, and narrowed down the problem to resistor R8104 which is supposed to measure .05 ohms but is actually resisting at .4 ohms. It's the only component between the power supply and the 12v input to the LCD backlight driver LP8561...

    820-01069-B, hoping you have this iMac schematic and/or boardview file

    in your vast library, by chance do you have the boardview file and schematic for iMac logic board 820-01069 that you would share? having a devil of a time finding it. 2017 21.5" iMac, non-retina, known working display and eDP cable, external image works, I don't get LED #4 (i.e. board not...

    sorry this is an iMac question, do you repair iMacs btw?

    After much micro-soldering practice, i finally went for it and purchased an iMac at a deep discount that would require replacement of the 60-pin DisplayPort connector, and hopefully flip it for a profit. I tried it twice, and each time the screen wouldn't even power on, and only the first two...
