The Black Boxes Out: I can't see shit.

[Joe Blog]

I really should...still, for now I'll just do some experiments on these dead 360s.



Yeah, heatgun, flux, thermal paste, etc. Not a professional setup for sure, but it's something. Need to just clean out the garage and make a work space for myself. Might actually do it sometime later today.

The only thing about reflowing is it's usually only a somewhat temporary fix. Most systems die again in a couple weeks to a month. Now it could be that I don't have my heatgun settings setup right. It's just the results I've gotten in the past.

You can do quite a lot with that equipment, for soldering i personally use a heat gun and a 30 watt variable temp soldering iron which does most jobs quite well, the reflowing might work better if you add solider to the joint unless you do that already.
