Looking for someone with soldering skills

[Ridge]

So I've been working on this TV for a while. Purchased the circuit board I need to fix it, and it arrived today....with a broken capacitor.

It' is barely hanging on, and I need someone who is good with a soldering gun to maybe reattach it for me...

Any leads?

I'm a long way from you, but back in the 90's I was NASA certified to solder on manned spacecraft. I'd be happy to do it.

Your a little far away. piece of cake fix as long as the cap is good. And that may be a coil not a cap. Notice the number starts with an "L" telling me that it is a coil not a cap. L9601 says inductor. A C9601 would be a cap. I may be wrong since god only knows what the Chinese do these days...

Well, if the component would need to be replaced, I still have the old board, and the identical component on that board is intact...

$15 pencil-style soldering iron, some of the wicking copper braid, and a bit of practice on the old board...you'll do fine.


Never trust that little metal stand that comes with the iron, and everybody gets burned at first

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.

Glob, Glob and UGHLOB!



Bonus points for an Atmel chip too!

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.
