Hi, I am new in this industry and have purchased a beguinner unut, a 3-in-1 solder, desolder, hot air station. Currently I work on cellphone mainboards. At the moment I only replace single large chips on the mainboard. I would like to be able to repl

That would be our first guess, also. Get the stuff analyzed to be sure. Another clue is if the white stuff disappears when you hit it with hot air from a rework station. The hot air is activate the flux. Good troubleshooting tool, but you're subj

Anyone have any recommendations for hot air, hand held rework stations? We currently use Hakko for leaded assembly. We already have a sniper for bga rework.

The current discussion about solder fountains has to do with copper dissolution. Broadly, copper dissolution is the weakening of copper traces where a trace and a barrel plating intersect due a loss of the copper into the solder. Longer contact time

The APE machines are still OK in their place. We still have two APE machines that are over 8 years old and still are good for some processes, but have been consigned to the leaded solder rework area. We have upgraded to AirVac since the advent of le
