    Thank you for taking the time to provide the "IR fragility" demonstration, Alex. Wow, that is SUPER heat sensitive!! ALL products that I have purchased have made me money and continue to do so (ie longevity and quality). Shipping has been sent out fast and arrived as fast as can be possible (California to Florida is a lot of real estate to travel) and thank you for taking the time to post these videos. Goodness knows you have a plethora of work and are extremely busy. It is very much appreciated. Blessings to you and your family...

    You asked for comments on braid wick... When I first got mine I had a super cheap soldering iron, and I didn't like it much. It was because I didn't have enough heat transfer. My new iron works great with the premium braid and it holds way more solder than the cheap stuff.

    instead of using the iron delicately to solder on the IR emitter , you could have simply used the same method you used to desolder it from the donor , AKA heating from the bottom . would have been much easier

    I am confused why the soldering iron could be used to successfully attach the new component to the board, but when it was used to try to remove it from the board, it made the component's metal edges pop out.

    • @DPLS77
      @DPLS77 10 місяців тому +5

      that's because the solder iron was touching the solder pads, not the component itself. the tip already had a bit of solder, so by touching only the pads he was able to solder it back. solder moves to wherever there is heat and flux.

    • @NorthridgeFix
      @NorthridgeFix  10 місяців тому +10

      The answer is in the video. You're not paying attention.

    • @bmomjian
      @bmomjian 10 місяців тому +1

      @@DPLS77 So, when installing the component, you are just letting hot solder flow into the joint, while to remove it, you are heating the joint; is that the answer?

    • @AfternoonPlay
      @AfternoonPlay 10 місяців тому +1

      When attaching the new component, heat was only applied only to the pad, and withdrawn the split second that the solder flowed. Then the component dropped down into place. The component only experienced heat momentarily.
      When unsoldering, the component will not magically jump up and away from the pad (and connected heat), as it is held / fixed in place by its other soldered joint. Timing is critical for this repair, as is where the heat is applied to. It's best to have a bunch of spares when attempting this kind of repair, as the success rate can be low.
