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!
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...
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...

2009 MacBook Pro back light fuse orientation?
hello, I am repairing a MacBook Pro 2009 12 inch back light issue, the previous fuse was removed before I received the MacBook, it does not look like there’s any left or right up or down or pin #1 etc. Can you confirm whether it matters which...
hello, pad/hole for a headphone jack pin on an asus motherboard; this isn't a mac but it's general soldering so i hope you don't mind. does the pad have to be a closed loop or will this suffice?
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...
