Okay so that would explain a lot of things then.
I was struggling to get the darn thing to sit properly, So….
I ended up trying to use the old skool method with just my soldering iron and micro tip….obviously was not a good move.
I will revert back to hot air and try again.
I have a spare connector so let’s hope this one goes on properly.
First things first is to remove, clean and start fresh with some new solder.
**** Note: I was having quite a difficult time trying to get a couple of the pads to take new batch of solder… no matter how much heat I threw at it, the iron would just not wet those pads…
Obviously after a lot of attempts I managed to finally get it to…….any thoughts ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I started off as just a Hobby - something to keep me busy… but as my experience built up on mainly messing around with iPhones / iPads, I found myself helping out with Friends and Family, Friends, Friends of Friends and so on… so started making a business out of it all.
As you can probably tell… I am no Pro and have many more years to be fully qualified in this type of work…but with time I hope to.
My Iron: is a Hakko iron
My Hot air station is an 858D station. (Probably not the greatest but was bought as a gift for me)
I have several size nozzles too.
Solder…
I have several types of solder -
Leaded solder (63 27) (0.3mm & 0.6mm)
Lead Free solder (used extremely rarely as needs a lot of temperate to wet)
Two types Type X series Solder Paste
- but I always find these pastes can be quite messy.
I will watch the YouTube and go from there - thank you for your support
