brooselee Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Weeee. Really wasn't that bad with plenty of flux, a good iron, and a little hot air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaminGuys Posted Tuesday at 12:23 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:23 AM Just done a v1.1 myself. Did get a bridge on chip 3 and whilst going to test on a Jafar loaded with Xblast, it started beeping. Just for future reference. All good now, just wicked it away. Quite easy to spot if you look at a cut across of the board at the chip pins, you've added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite easy to spot if you look at a cut across of the board at the chip pins, you've added. Wanted to add that bridges are easy to avoid if you use a shit ton of flux (obviously) and then only add a little to the tip of your iron and do the drag method. You can always add more once you sap all the solder off the tip of your iron, but if you have too much, you'll end up with bridges and needing to remove it. Although I don't wick right away, I'll try to go along another side/row of pins and move some of the solder from one row to the next that I work on. Much easier... and you'll need less solder for that next row you started. And never get solder into the vias around the chips. I have no idea why, but it kills motherboards. If it happens, use braid to get it out of the via before you run power through the board... seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
