[GHunterProductionz]

Where can I get the correct solder iron and tip for this job or similar? @ anyone

[jefffycashweb]

Hello and thank you for the tutorial!

using a syringe sirius 1DI but exactly which component because there are several component

Sn63Pb37

Sn62PbAg2

Sn95.5Ag3.8Cu0.7

Sn5Pb95

if you can tell us exactly where you use?

In any case, thank you very much and happy new year to you soon

Ok liquid solder is what's used to connect the fpc connector to the board? Not regular solder then? See I'm going to attempt a replacement fpc connector for lcd on an I pod touch 4 g and wasn't sure how they did it but now I believe its with the liquid solder.can you assist in any tips that might be usefull.?

[EX0RR]

hello @offmains :

what happens if i do not connect the connector cable to the connector?

i destroyed my connenctor and don´t want buy another...

sorry for my bad english^^

[VICTORGONZALOms]

Hi, I sent you an inbox. I don't know if you red it....

[unitedforhelp]

Thanks for all your help...I will retry the process with these suggestions...

I also should be receiving the new WX 1011 micro soldering station so should ease the job for me

[unitedforhelp]

with reagrds to magnification glass I have got a cheap 3x one which barely makes any difference looking through it... What is the best magnification for such a delicate task?

In fact tomorrow I'm will be going to look for a good stereozoom microscope hopefully it ll be much easier

And does the soldering iron suck being 1.2mm tip? And what do you prefer for this task conical or chisel tip?

Thanks once again for all your help

[offmains]

@unitedforhelp My solder past has flux in it, if yours is a bit dry them flux it up a bit. You do not need a lot of solder. If you still have solder on the pads then that will aid the process

As for solder tips I use either a needle tip or narrow flat tip. I get less bridging with a needle tip.

I use a Weller variable heat solder station....WMD3 set at 380c

[lilbigbrow]

@offmains Hey do you know how to fix the iphone 3gs camera shutter problem?

[unitedforhelp]

Forgot to mention that the dispensing tip of the solder paste is 0.83mm from the syringe. Although I noticed that the solder paste used in your video is more acqueous than mine, mine is more solid grey formula

But I hardly think that the solder paste is the problem as it is from Kester which offers very good products

[unitedforhelp]

As I said the problem is that the solder iron has got no temp control but it goes up to 400C with regards to the tip it is about 1.2mm...

Is liquid flux sufficient? If not what difference is between the gel one, and liquid/pen driven  flux?

[offmains]

@unitedforhelp the gel flux does not evaporate as fast as the liquid.

I use a liquid flux most of the time, I only use gel when I get a bridge.

[unitedforhelp]

First of all many thanks for your video it has thought me a lot of things.

However I have some questions regarding the soldering of the new connector...

When I try to solder the new connector the solder paste sometimes it ends up going on inside the conenctor resulting in melting the plastic body of the connector and when I try to amend the solder back it starts to bridge with the adjacent connections.

Could you please advise how bridging could be removed?

With regards to magnifying glass I

[offmains]

@unitedforhelp what size tip are you using and what heat? do not use too much liquid solder. If you get a bridge try cleaning your tip, add some gel flux to the bridged area and drag the tip away from the joints.

[AriiSoWavyy]

your so shaky

[offmains]

@AriiSoWavyy Maybe I should cut down on the whiskey!

[Atomic605]

Hey !

I have a question, I'm from Germany and want to know how much the supplies costs?

A 25g Solder Paste, the etamvit solder tip tinner (20g)

And which gel flux do you use and how much does ist costs?

Sorry for the questions, but my English is much as well.. Not...

So I don't understand everything...

Hope you answer!

Aaaand VERY NICE VIDEO!

[offmains]

@Atomic605 Hi

Go to mbouk.co.uk all the prices are on there.

Regards

[Atomic605]

@offmains I really don't see :O Where on the page?

[offmains]

@Atomic605 go to mbouk.co.uk you need the cirius 1di liquid solder :)

[Atomic605]

@offmains I know :D But where do I see the costs?! And where do I oder? Email? There is no shop or somethin like that^^

[Keesraptor]

Hi,

Nice video! I have a question. What stuff do you use at 1:16?

And what stuff do you use at 2:08?

Greetings Kees.

[offmains]

@Keesraptor isopropyl and liquid solder

go to mbouk.co.uk you need the cirius 1di liquid solder

[rocket3151234]

great video, thanks, well done. 

[tennyson0228]

I have a Weller WESD51 50 Watt .... is this too much wattage for this type of work - I've read that you shouldn't use more than a 15W iron?

Thanks again!!

[offmains]

@tennyson0228 Don't see a problem with a 50 watt iron.......is it variable temp?

A 50 watt iron will recover its heat faster than a 15 watt....so when you apply a 15 watt iron to the work the temperature will drop, a 50 watt iron will recover faster ( a large tip will store heat therefore temperature drop will not be as bad ) Most lead free solder melts at 230c

[tennyson0228]

@offmains Yes variable temp. I was reading that 50 watts might be more than some boards can handle and you can end up damaging the boards .

Thanks so much for you help

[offmains]

@tennyson0228 Only if you keep the heat on the board too long, secret is to make sure the tip is clean and tinned, a gel flux is good as it aids the removal.

If you have a scrap board practice on that, ask your local phone store if they have any.

[tennyson0228]

Thats awesome....thanks .... What type/power magnifying lamp are you using there?

[offmains]

@tennyson0228 5 diopter 5 inch

[xbabsybabex]

Firstly can I say you sound like Mr Bean :)

Secondly - very good tutorial, I've been doing phone repairs for some time now and want to start soldering.

Can you advise me on supplies you'd recommend. And particular liquid solder and just any soldering iron?

Many thanks again for the video brilliantly demonstrated.

[offmains]

@xbabsybabex Hi, many thanks.....Mr Bean!

Liquid solder is Sirius 1 DI from mbouk.co.uk.

I use a variable temperature Weller solder iron,I use the WMD 3 but any of the cheaper Weller stations will do.

A good selection of tips for the solder iron.

You will need desolder braid, gel flux, tip cleaner/tinner all from mbouk.co.uk

A must is a magnifying lamp.

[xBabsyBabyx]

@offmains Once again, Thank you very...

[Rurouni011]

is there any other name for the liquid sorlder ? solder paste or something ? I went to your page and u dont have liquid solder as your products!

[offmains]

@Rurouni011 Hi

Go to this site and choose Sirius 1 Di

mbouk.co.uk/solderpaste.htm

Tony

[roymam2]

would you be able to post a video on how to change connector 1?

[goobiie]

Hi very good video and very helpful. Where do we get liquid solder?

[offmains]

@goobiie Hi you should be able to get it from here mbouk.co.uk

[cramnosniktaw]

Excellent video tutorial Tony, and thanks for your call back helping me to source liquid solder.

Many thanks

Marc

[gerritharkness]

where do you get the liquid solder and what brands of liquid solder and flux are you using?

[microdivision]

Great addition, Thanks!
