Hey Everyone,
I have been doing repairs for a couple of months now but without any soldering recently my current switched got banned so I thought I’d use that motherboard as just a faulty practice. I have several other switches too but don’t want to experiment on these as of yet due to this current issue…
Anyways problem im facing is for the life of me I cant remove he god dam chip ive been trying for 2 weeks now and nothing. At first I thought it was my flux so I did some research and was recommended this flux by a repair company. I also use this hot air station its not the best but didnt want anything too fancy as of yet whiles practicing. Maybe the hot air station is the problem I dont know I dont see why? But I have it on the hottest air which is 480° and ive got it on the chip with flux testing it with my tweezers every few seconds and it won’t move. At on point i even had it held on for 5 minutes which isn’t good but it still didnt move the solder got a little shiny so it obviously is melting it a little but maybe not enough? Its really getting me down I dont think I’m doing anything wrong. Seen some people say that you need better station others have said a cheap station is fine if you know what you’re doing so any help please??
I will list below the station and flux ive tried including the links and images but for some reasons its not working so if you could copy and paste these following titles into ebay before commenting you will see what im using…
