Looking for someone with soldering skills

[gnihcraes]

looks surface mount to me and will be difficult to get it stuck back on there without damage to the component. worth a shot though. looks like some others here have nasa experience.

I'm in S/E Aurora, and have all the necessary tools at home. If you want to bring it by, it'll take about a minute. Bring the old board just in case.
PM me if interested.
The first rule in soldering, " The bigger the glob, The better the job."

lol, my instructors would have a damned heart attack if you turned in work like that (Naval aviation). There is a MUCH bigger concern for aircraft and spacecraft than TVs!

First - forget the notion of soldering "GUN". That's a sure-fire way to fawk it all up. You need the smallest soldering "IRON" you can get, like a 15 watt pencil-tip from Radio Shack. The last thing you need is a big tip with a lot of heat.

Well I learned to solder in the Army ( Navigation & Flight control equiptment ) so I can get it gone using just a propane torch and tire weights for solder. Seriously, if the OP wants I can handle it.

I'd appreciate it. I'll call you later tonight.

I taught at USAMEOS at Fitzsimmons back in the day. Sadly they do not teach the skills needed at the new school down in texas. And I do remember fixing a guys radiator in the middle of nowhere with a propane torch and one of his wheel weights about 30 years ago.

I knew ya were kidding.

Glob, Glob and UGHLOB!



Bonus points for an Atmel chip too!

Oh my gosh! I thought I'd lost my soldering skills through the years, but I can certainly do a MUCH better job than any of those 3 examples.

No, it's surface mount.

*groan*

I was thinking it, but you're the one who said it. Speaking of which:

What? Nobodies going to take that bait? Okay, it's just too easy; ain't it?

Sideshow Bob is a master at soldering! He ended up removing the damaged component, and cut a functioning one off the old circuit board I had and re-attached it.

Unfortunately the television still will not turn on, but is flashing a different trouble code from the one it had Monday.

Hoping I will hear back from Sharp about it soon...

Get this thing working so I can scan craiglist for free tv's.
