I always, ALWAYS get mesmerized by your process! Very clean! Thanks for mentioning the temperatures too. Very inspirational and a big help.
Hi , thank you for supporting my channel , very much appreciated. If I can help a few people out with their desoldering / soldering issues then I'm happy. Thanks again and good luck with all of your soldering projects in the future 👍
The wire method is great. No worries about heating up the board or nearby components and it's a lot quicker.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I realized not everyone has hot air guns etc available so that's why I showed the wire method . Like you say it's better for the surrounding components and is really quick . Also it can be adapted to suit many other components as I've shown in some of my other RUclips videos. Thanks again , take care 👍
I have to admit. the wire method is a game changer. thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for showing this to us. Now I can save up to purchase some 0.25mm solder and some 26 gauge tinned solid copper wire.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. If you are based in the UK try BLT circuits for your solder . They do a great 0.25mm solder ( leaded and unleaded ) and are really cheap compared to the well known stockists . Hope you get on ok , thanks again 👍
Thanks buddy, a great job done with so ease.

Your videos is treat for me
Hi , I'm glad you enjoy them , your support of my channel is very much appreciated 👍
Hi, I am curious what size tip you where using to do those joints I have purchased some practice boards from China to refine my SMD soldering techniques. I have found your tips in soldering very helpful and it encourages me to continue to practice and do some projects using SMD components. Many thanks again for your tips and time producing these videos it is highly appreciated.
it looks like he grinded a regular pointed tip to a finer tip, I did the same with 1 of my old tips long time ago but now there are cheap pen soldering irons with fine tips that suite SMD work much better, I got 1 USB powered.
@@Roman00744 Grinding the tip to a finer tip will remove the protective coating, which prevents rapid oxidation.
This only works on pure metal tips, which I haven't seen in even somewhat cheap semi-quality irons for a long time.
If ground down, the tip will start to disintegrate - become hollow, wider, shorter and then you have to regrind.
I learned from experience not to do that - then I got myself better irons, and better tips - some that is nearly as sharp as a needle tip.
Hi , your comment is not quite true as the iron I use the Weller TCP S , conical tip PTP7 is almost Solid and allows you to do this . Been doing it for many years and never have a problem with tips oxidizing like you mention . Also I use a Metcal iron and I and others I know have smoothed the tips on them occasionally with a fine needle file to slightly change the size , also with perfect results and no problem again with oxidation etc. So it can be done with certain irons.
@@mrsolderfix3996 Live and learn, don't get burned.
I've had bad experiences, which has kept me from trying it again.
Come to think of it, the tips I tried grinding was used with quite hot, always on, irons.
I also use a Metcal MX-500p, and though I can't adjust temperature it will auto-shut off. I do have some old tips, hmm :ø)
Thanks for clarifying!
Hi , it's good that we all share our thoughts . I was sceptical when wondering if I could do it on a Metcal tip but after speaking to a few other people a while ago I tried it with great success. But I can't say you can do it with every make of iron as I've only ever used Weller's and Metcals and only certain models in their ranges . Thanks for your comments, 👍 much appreciated
It's certainly helpful having steady hands which, unfortunately, I don't have.😟
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I do believe the more we all practice we can definitely all become more confident and with that eventually your steadiness does improve . That's what I found anyway . Keep going everyone , that's my message. Thanks again 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Thank you for your encouragement. Doing my first attempt in removing a multipin IC left much to be desired and not the prettiest in appearance either. I think I'll practice on discarded boards with SMD's and IC's before moving onto actual projects. 😀
Hi , thanks again for commenting. What I've always done is just open up old electronics like phones , tablets , computer laptops etc and just play about with soldering techniques. Scrap boards can always be useful from units we would normally discard to improve your soldering skills as the more you practice the better you will get . If my videos can help slightly along the way then that's great . Thanks again for all your support of my channel , take care 👍
❤❤❤very good 🇩🇿 💓
Hi , thank you for commenting and supporting my channel , very much appreciated 👍
Great videos and techniques! What's your camera? Thanks.
Excellent! Please i want to know what is the microscope and stand you r using
👌👌👍👍
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , very much appreciated 👍
I recognise the click of a Weller Magnastat
Hi , thank you for your comment. Weller's are definitely my favourite make of irons , followed by Metcal. I'm glad you recognise the click , that's great . Thanks again , take care 👍
Have used one for the past 25 years. In fact the same one for the past 25 years@@mrsolderfix3996
Awesome video!
What soldering iron do you use?
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated . I use 2 irons generally but In every video on RUclips I have used a Weller TCP S iron with a PTP7 tip ( small conical ) or DD8 ( large flat sided ). Outside of my RUclips videos I use Metcal irons as well . Hope that helps , thanks again for your time , take care 👍
wow you are the best. How do you know when to use leaded solder is there a way to tell ? Oh thanks all for the temp advice.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. With this board I knew it was built with leaded solder so just done the rework with the same . Lead free solder is usually a little duller and grainier than leaded solder and some companies will put a PB sticker with a line through the PB on the board . This means lead free. But it can sometimes be difficult to tell as some lead free solders nowadays come out really shiny so can easily be mistaken for leaded . I guess my biggest tip is to look for that slightly duller , grainier finish and you will get it right nearly all the time . You will soon realise if you add leaded to unleaded solder as the joint will become really dull and have a matt like finish . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Many thanks for the info.
Hi , no problem 👍
Thanks for sharing this .. what's the watt of the soldering iron you using in second method ?
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. The iron I used in this video was a Weller TCP S which is 50 watt. Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
I wonder why we haven't got a smart eyeglasses. something like a thermal camera but in an eye glasses.
we have google lens back then and was discontinued.
it should have been a revolutionize item for soldering job and for mechanics in general.
Can you tell what solder wire and what flux you are using? Also, what temperature of solder iron you are using in this particuar film? Regards.
Can you tell me where you get your aluminum tape. The only thing I found that is close is aluminum duck work tape.
Hi , if you just Google Aluminium Foil Tape there are lots of options that pop up . Places on Amazon , Tool Station etc plus many others . I personally get mine from Farnell or RS Components but they are more expensive and I have found cheaper ones to be fine for the hobbyist . Just make sure it's adhesive lined . Also there is a massive price difference in tapes so shop around . Hope that helps , good luck 🤞
What temperature did you use?
Are you just using foil tape? Or is it something specific? Im curious when you would use that vs kapton tape.
Hi , thank you for your question , much appreciated. I'm using a standard aluminium foil, adhesive backed from 3M . Other companies make it i.e Advance tapes , it's easily obtainable.
As I have previously told lots of people Kapton tape is nowhere near as good as Aluminium Foil tape for protection against heat . I done a really early video on my channel showing this exact point . Kapton is pretty useless at protecting against plastic connectors melting for instance , also small resistors , capacitors will lift off the board under Kapton tape when hot air is applied . Aluminium foil just doesn't allow this .
I will probably make my next video all about these 2 tapes again showing lots of other examples proving this point . I hope that clears this up . Thanks again , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996❤❤❤❤❤
Hi which flux do you use. Also this methode is good if the connector is on the end of the print. If it is in middle board when no space is how do you do it then
Hi , thank you for your comment. It's very easy actually , as soon as the joints are melted all around the wire you simply just lift off with tweezers , it's that simple . You don't need the long tail like I've got at one end , I only did it like this as it was on the edge . You can cut both ends like I did with the shorter end . Hope that explains it. Thanks again .
@@mrsolderfix3996 ok thank you for explaining . I am asking for replacing connectirs on laptop motherboards which is very crowded. Which kind of flux do you use is it liquid flux , is it no clean which you need for bga or is it not recommend for that purpose
Hi , no problem. The flux I use is SMFL200D but unfortunately it's recently been discontinued so I'm looking for a suitable replacement at this present time . When I find one I will post about it on RUclips. Thanks again for your comments , much appreciated 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 ok thank you very much
Hi , no problem. Thank you for all of your comments 👍
I tried to remove a TEA1750T from IMac PSU, appeared to also glued, whats the best method to remove such a component?
Do u have a link for the .25 solder u use please
Hi , thank you for your comment . I don't know where you live but if you are in the UK try BLT CIRCUITS , ask for Greg . I don't believe they sell abroad but I may be wrong on that . Good luck 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 thank u I’m in the Uk. Cheers.
@@bigdmc6459 hi , no problem . There prices are really good as well . If you need to buy lead free solder get their SN100SB type . It's amazing to work with and gives great shiny joints even though it's lead free . Good luck 👍
Che diametro ha questo filo di rame?
Please give me lead that you are using Amazon buying link.
Im not comfortable with my lead that im using.
