HOW TO Desolder a LED | SMD LED Desoldering Tutorial

Today, we show you how to desolder an SMD LED from an electronic board. This way the LED can either be replaced or reused. The process is pretty simple and only requires a soldering iron and some flux. Remember here that lots of flux is the key to reflow the original solder!
► YOU WILL NEED
* Soldering iron
* Flux
* Small piece of metal. Note: that one is not always needed since many LEDs are nowadays mounted on an aluminium heat sink.
► DISCLAIMER
Always make sure you operate in a safe and secure manner.
For this project this means, do not burn yourself to death, even if you are into that kinda things.

What would be the method if you wanted to attempt putting it back. I have one of those little LED’s that broke off its solder on a LED fog light for my vehicle. I have a couple led strips I could remove a LED from to attempt to add in place of the broken one but how would you suggest doing it?

[@XtianApi]

Wow, simple but effective

[@TheLabOtomy]

Indeed!

[@demontagemontage]

THANK YOU NICE IDEA!

[@TheLabOtomy]

WELCOME!

Buen vided justo lo que andaba buscardo gracias

[@TheLabOtomy]

De nada

Excellent xD

[@rayneaustephane2757]

bonjour et merci pour votres tres bonne technique de déssoudage de SMD !
je me suis toujours demandé quel puissance il fallait pour alimenter une led SMD ?
j'ai un petit projet pour une maquette et j'aurai besoin de quelque smd pour la faire !
leurs faut-ils une resistance, aussi, s'il vous plait ?
merci encore.

[@TheLabOtomy]

Cela depend du nombre de LEDs que le paquet SMD contient. Ils ont commence par une LED par SMD, mais il y en a avec maintenant 4, 6 et plus. Chaque LED necessite 3V (si en serie) en il faut limiter le courant (si cela n'est pas fait sur le circuit) ou la/les LED(s) ne limite(nt) rien et va/vont griller

Gracias

[@rasmasyean]

Can you put it back using the same method?

[@TheLabOtomy]

I would not do it since you risk shorting the 2 pads

[@aaddlla6899]

Brother why use that metal piece. Why not direct contact btw chip and solder or lighter etc?

[@TheLabOtomy]

To have a more broad heat distribution. If localised may only weaken one part of the solder, not all of it

[@vkgamingplatform7247]

I used Blade to remove 8/10 working led

[@rayneaustephane2757]

PS: 3 volts ou du 12 volts ? merci.

[@TheLabOtomy]

J'ai fait un tuto sur l'alimentatio de LED precedemment, peut-etre que cela aidera. Voir ruclips.net/video/h6-EnP5ArSo/видео.html

[@dmitriykoltunov4261]

Omg. Bro needs a heat gun

[@hasanbasalan5782]

Hallo kannst du mir ein led auch löten

[@bodziogaming3884]

tego nie da sie wlutować taakiej diody to jest nie moźliwe sam prrubowałem

[@anyonecanmakeit718]

Yes it works just keep heating for 90 secs and boom all led will start falling off.👍

[@PaladinJenkis]

That is some caveman shit right there

[@TheLabOtomy]

Greetings right from my cave!
