The Pikey Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Are there any soldering Ninjas in the Dublin area? I need to solder 4 small capacitors to the power board on my Samsung.

mmrmnhrm Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Are you talking about something like this? If so, I did it myself about three months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pikey Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's similar, but basically the same concept. The caps I need replaced are bunched a little closer together. I think I could do it, I just dont have a gun. Are the soldering tips interchangeable? Thanks for the repsonse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think I could do it, I just dont have a gun. Are the soldering tips interchangeable? Depends on your iron. The "pencil" style irons sold by Radio Shack generally are, and some also allow you to remove not just the tip, but also the heating element, allowing you to swap different elements in when you need different amounts of heat. Larger "gun" style irons can sometimes swap tips, but are usually too hot for this sort of work. I'd also suggest using a bulb-style desoldering vacuum. The spring-loaded things are great at sucking, but very difficult to keep steady when you hit that trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Did the same thing to a Scepter LCD months back.. Do you have the board removed already? How small are the caps? shouldnt be that hard of a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How small are the caps? shouldnt be that hard of a job. I removed the board right after I read up on the symptoms, to see if the capacitors were bulging (found 4). The caps are 1000uf's. They're slightly bigger in physical size than the factory ones, but they will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
