    Whoever did the previous soldering job, that solder blob was a masterpiece and interesting subject for a museum piece. Its lucky that no other components went faulty because of that short. Alex, as always, excellent work to fix it back to as pristine as possible.

    They likely had a hard time desoldering with the equipment they had and tried the ol' "heat everything at once with a big solder blob" technique. It does work on some components but I have a hard time believing it would ever work for a USBC port 😅

    do you speed up the segments where you flow solder with the hot air? I am still learniong and with my rework station i have to turn the temperature up pretty high and theres plenty of smoke and it seems like i am torching the chip/board before the solder melts. it takes forever.

      They see the technique of dragging the solder tip across the pads, leaving solder on each pad but no bridging. they tried this technique with way too large of a tip, on way to small of pins, bridging every pad. then they had no idea how to remove the solder to try again
