Great vid in showing how simple this process can be and that if one can swing a soldering iron, then they shouldn't be scared to try this themselves. Well done to you, cooltronics! A few extra tips, if I may, especially for those not experienced in this technique: 1. When removing residual solder from the PCB pads, try to run the braid in the same direction as the pads. It will take longer but it will greatly reduce the risk of ripping the pad from the PCB, especially if you apply too much pressure or the PCB is of poor quality. 2. Make regular cuts in the end of the braid to remove the 'soldered' part of the braid. If you keep too much solder on the end of the braid, there is an increased risk that the 'soldered' end, that has not quite solidified, may 'grab' onto a nearby pad, ripping it off the PCB. 3. Always remember that flux if your friend! Yes, it may be nasty and corrosive but once the job is done, it can be easily removed with propanol.

I've looked as closely as I possibly can and I see no solder bridges anywhere. In fact I'm amazed it worked so well on such an IC. Well done, Ignore the idiots with their claims of bridges, it's almost as good as the original. I'm impressed and after working on the F15 Fighter black boxes and soldering for over 60 years I'm not that easy to be impressed over any soldering job.

I love electronics, and always wondered how surface mount components could be replaced. I always thought that a person would have to take a piece to repair shop. Great video, thanks for the information.

Good Video! Your live demonstration is encouraging to those starting out. Indeed " PRACTICE " and " PATIENCE " are Key to success.!

it actually looks a lot better than i thought, congrats on your work!

Excellent video -- made the much simpler job of soldering my micro-usb port back into place easy.

Impressive, I can see you have a lot of experience, an innate deep familiarity of the process and materials.

One of the best tutorials in UKposts to learn solder 256 pin SMD! Please keep up your good work! I am going to try this out to swap my BIOS SMD to new PCB, wish me luck 🤞

_If society was as careful about signal integrity as electronic engineers, misunderstandings would rarely occur._ 👍

Top video tutorial. Thank you lots!

Dude! That’s amazing!! Thanks for the tutorial!

Well done! However, I wouldn't use the X-acto knife to check for loose pins as it might bend them or even break them, no matter how little the force is.

Simple.. But Powerful video👌. Thank you so much..

Hey thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I really need to find a fine tip soldering iron like this where would you suggest trying to stay away from online orders because of time issues

Hi there, I would like to know which is the best soldering wire - flux and cleaner for these kinds of chip removals and replacements to give the best quality work, I would truly appreciate your advice-thank you!!!

I did'nt know this was even possible! wow just wow! I thought it was done by automation.

congratulations !! you are very good ! Eu trabalho com manutenção de sistemas eletrônicos e sei o quanto é dificil isso que você fez.

Excellent video showing how to do TSOP manually. I am use to using Pace hot air machine to reinstall devices after indexing to board such as these and others. I can do it manually and by hot air machine. I have been doing this kind of work for 9 years. I worked in the gaming industry doing this type of work. Great demo five stars

Thanks this is awesome. Gives me hope I may be able to repair some old 3Dfx video cards I have.

You have a good hand. :) I was doing this on motherboards chips (north bridges) 24 years ago , ( bad motherboards from Malaysia in those years) without flux .If you soldering in circles on terminals only without flux you really know how to work like a professional.

Nice work. It's all in the technique. The flux does help prevent bridges and allows the solder to flow nice. Practice practice practice. I inspect with a high powered magnifier. Touch up if necessary. I would go in and out from the chip at the areas needing touch up to correct any bridges without disturbing the other pins, instead of going along the pins, but obviously this guy has had a lot,of experience soldering s.m.d.

Just great, man. Keep it up. No matter what other adverse comments some might have given, you have shown to have done a great job. To be frank, I can't do it so fast.

Very nice and clean way of doing surface mount!

What flux do you use and what iron temperature thanks

Great video. Im looking forward to practicing on a broken board. Thank you

Excellent works very helpful to me thanks

As an ex camcorder service tech, this is exactly how it was done day to day in the real world, no solder paste or masks only difference for me was I fluxed the PCB first with a sticky flux to hold part. Also works a lot better with leaded solder! Any solder bridges between pins just flux and move iron over it and it would go. Quick clean, there are proprietary flux cleaners with brushes attached to can but in the workshop it was Isopropyl and a tooth brush

Great demonstration, thanks

Awesome video bro! Thank you and GOD bless.

Good video, My day job is rework and PCB inspector , Good soldering skills 👍

Good work. I liked the video learned from it and will share. From the Dominican Republic Guillermo.

I genuinely enjoyed your video. Thanks for the good content.

nice job and helpful video now I will try this on our tv to fix hdmi port

Very good job.Thank you for sharing

what type soldering , size of the tip of the soldering iron u sue here .excellent hand work .

Beautiful job , i just soldered my LG plasma tv for black vertical lines i did this before worked great, just had to soldier other side for vertical black lines it worked but this time i have fine red & blue lines is it possible i put a hair to much solder & if so can i just try to thin the solder or did i damage or short chip it looks great it's not sloppy just a hair to much solder do I have a chance to get hair line vertical color lines out or could i make it worse & live w it !

Practice make perfect. How about soldering new chip, how to easy to do? And what solder power you used?

Great class!

That was amazing---I learn something every day!!!

Done with precision good work fine

your video about smd soldering is very nice. your way is very simple and easy. Thank you

Thanks for doing this video. Your soldering seems clean and nice. There are lot of videos showing the drag soldering method. Everybody highlights the importance of using enough flux. Flux is very important here. But nobody, including you, show or disclose the flux cleaning method or any chemical used for it. If you know a better method of cleaning flux or any techniques of cleaning flux please make a video and share that too.

hello, what is the temperature of the air gun? and that of the welder? thanks

LOL... You make it look so easy!

tnx a lot 4 this video..

Wow! What soldering temp are you set on?

can i use a specific solder iron for this chip ?

Nice demonstration

What temp c do you recommend on air gun to remove ? 450?

Boa solda . Mais que solda é essa amigo?

Very nyc worked i also solder but in last two pin connected as bridge and cant remove extra solder from that Please teach me uses of flux and best solder iron condition .......will be thank full to you

Very nyc worked i also solder but in last two pin connected as bridge and cant remove extra solder from that

impressive, but I would like to see the board operational again, that would be the ultimate test!

Perfect thanks for the video.

What is the cleaner you use?is it for removing the flux?

great job with low cost, what kind your used soldering type?

You have a Golden hand, my congraturations!

Nice video.Thank you

Good tutorial

How can I get the flux dispenser pen and the tools you used to check the brake.

Great soldering skill !

Very good and easy thank you 👍

Before removing the chip you should make some alignment markings. This way you are getting the chip back on exactly as it was mounted before removal. Just a thought.

very nice technique , done superpbly...thank you sir...

Thank you!

Thanks for this tutorial. Is it because of the flux applied along with the tiny contact pins of the processor that prevents them from joining together when it is soldered on to the board? Can you please advise? Thanks.

Nice tips & tricks, thank You

I swing flux on the soldering wick ,didn't no about that one ,thanks

Well I like it but what did u clean it with

What make of iron do you use ?

what did you say when you talked about the Benefits of using flux before soldering?

Nice work

What settings on hot air gun was used??

amazing well done

How much temperature of air did you used to remove the chip?

Darn good way of doing it ... will tryit out most definitely

What temp is your soldering iron at

Hi, What flux are you using on this video please?

Hey thanks for the video. Now I'm trying to unsolder a 32 pins, chip. And I would like to know if there are some chips that even though I apply 390c (734 F) and it won't release. And I'm worried because if I still doing so, I the chip can crash or idk. My problem is... why I can unsolder that chip?

Good finishing

Cool.. I just have a point on ESD protection when u touch the chip, r u using any protection as such? Thanks.

Can u try solder a chip on a PBC that work's

QUESTION: What prevents Solder from forming Bridges betweein these very close and very small pins thereby creating a Short ? It seems that the Solder would flow and connect 2 pins together, what stops it from doing that ?? Thank you.

Thanks for good idea

its pretty great but you may need to protect the component over the ic with kapton tape at least...

How do you that with a knife you feel that there is a missing soldering?

That amazing, but when am trying to run my soldering iron on the chip some of the pins legs where shorted. please what can i do not to get it shorted. thanks

Great work 👍🏻

What should be temperature for heater

whcih iron do you use?thanks

Thank you so much.

As a novice I wouldn't trust this technique, I believe there are better alternatives; I respect your wealth of knowledge though,so I remain your fan

GREAT JOB!!

wow very professional good job

can you help find car ECU boot pin for Isuzu transtron

my 2002 rav4 4x4 engine rpm up high and down then engine shut down. what is the cause of that?

Cảm ơn đã chia sẻ, nó rất hữu ích cho tôi.

Beautiful tks

Dear friend, your explanation is very valuable. I wanna know the type and watts of your soldering iron.
