-Tools we Use
-Soldering
I currently Use 3 different handles, standard, micro-pencil and micro tweezers.
I will say having the standard handle and micro pencil is a necessity and the tweezers
are intermittently useful but not necessary.
Tip choice is largely personal preference, unless its conical.
I use bevel or chisel tips for standard handle and knife tip for micro pencil, standard ones for the tweezers.
Fume Extractor- Not available on amazon, but we use a Quick 6102A1 (Dual Port) The single port is the 6101a1, don't cheap out on your health!
I believe there are some vendors in the US on eBay for these or you could order on ali express Union repair etc.
Solder fumes are bad to breath, get a good fume extractor lest ye get the cancer!
amzn.to/4aumQa9 - Hakko FX951, Single input soldering station with standard sized handle (FM-2027) and stand
amzn.to/3WTAtgb - Hakko C1551 Dual Port Soldering Station (FM-203) Station Only
amzn.to/3WUQZMP - Hakko FM2032 Micro Pencil, my most used iron by far.
amzn.to/45bKcAF - Hakko Micro tweezer+stand+tips
amzn.to/3R0AeMp - Quick 861DW Hot Air Station, Makes things hot , reliable, I like angled nozzles.
amzn.to/3WUv2NP - AMScope SM-6T-FR Microscope head we use with a boom arm. I like the boom arm, some people don't, this is a personally preference.
If you have a shaky table, you should get a stationary non boom arm mount.
amzn.to/4bycmbe - Barlow .5 lens. double your working distance , halves magnification.
Working under a microscope is frustration without a Barlow lens.
amzn.to/3KjWRaI - AmTech NC-559-V2-TF, The Goat of flux. Smells of oranges.
-Testing
amzn.to/3WUQZMP - Siglent SDM 3045X Benchtop multimeter, this is not really necessary and a hand held meter is fine for most applications.
This benchtop supply makes it easy to have an overlay in OBS and has some fun features.
amzn.to/3UTgzPM -Fluke 117 Handheld multimeter True RMS. This will work forever and this is what I used before using the Siglent.
I still use this for larger items that cant go on the table.
amzn.to/44XCPfJ - General USB C amp meter, if I didn't need my meter to show on my computer screen, Id use this, its 10$ and works great.
amzn.to/44WAVfx - Fancy USB C amp meter, has software with fun things like graphs, you can see it on your computer screen.
amzn.to/4bR2Yiu - Thermal Camera, the amount of things this makes faster or possible to fix is astounding.
For anyone fixing board professionally.
-Misc.
amzn.to/3KjVzMU - Large Heating Mat, great for MacBook LCD only and many other repairs.
-Tweezers
amzn.to/3V2nnuy - Dumont 5 tweezers, the fanciest of tweezers, I use these for only microwork, great for jumper wires and other fine work.
amzn.to/3QXTha1 - Hakko curved tweezers, great general purpose fine point curved tweezers.
amzn.to/44VvvBq- Hakko straight tweezers, like above, but straight.

Good job🎉

Ordered that heating mat, looks very useful. You should post some referral links to the tools you use, probably an easy way to make some extra cash.

[@morethanafix]

We will actually be adding links to most of the tools we use soon, amazon referral program was being difficult!

[@morethanafix]

Just added links to most of the key tools we have

Hey, I heard from so many tech shops and repair shops that for the 16 inch m1 pro you dont need to swap the ic. Even the shop where im gonna buy the screen replacement said for this model a2485 there is no need for ic swap. I know that for the 14 inch one its necessary to swap ic. Do you have ani information on that? I would appreciate some insight, cause im really confused about this atm! Thank youuu

[@morethanafix]

It does work a bit differently on a 16 inch, you essentially don't get the gray bars non sense that you do for the 14", I'm not entirely sure if this is the case for M2/M3 since we have not had a 16 inch M2/M3 yet for a screen. However you still lose true tone and original color calibration, we can also have the repair cost less while we can make more on the labor doing this process, these are still essentially fully functioning with a full panel swap at least for an M1 A2485.

@@morethanafix And how much for this type of repair? thx

[@morethanafix]

@@jaym5938 for the 16ich machines these are 400 labor +panel, OEM LCD panel is about 230$ for these, 14" is 350 labor + OEM LCD Panel which is about the same cost

[@morethanafix]

@@jaym5938 brief comparison, the whole assembly panel for these 16 inch pros cost about 650$ for the part alone , LCD only saves a good amount on cost and retains original color calibration/ true tone function
