Solder

Recently I have been working on salvaging parts from an old broken Lenovo IdeaPad. A model S145-14api I believe. I have been working on connecting to its track pad to my computer. I have taken the track pad out of the laptop and identified the solder points for its ribbon cable. They are as...

My system does not have PWM headers for case fans, so I have been searching for temperature-based fan controllers. I have come across a kit board that does precisely this, albeit using a thermistor, which can only read the ambient case temperature: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077SLWWXL ...

I'm re-homing an HP Elitedesk 800 G1 sff into a new case, but it only has one CPU fan header and no chassis fan headers. However, under closer inspection there is one spot for a chassis fan header on the motherboard, but it doesn't actually have the header installed, just bare pads. photos...

I bought a PCIe x4 extender for my capture card because my graphics card is too big. The extender fits perfectly and doesn't block the GPU, but it's too big and I was wondering is it ok to unsolder the ends cut it, and then solder it back up?

I have a riser cable that I need to cut to shorter length. I know there's a bunch of joints, but they don't look that complicated. The one that I have is hard for me to tell what should be soldered and what should not. It looks like manufacturer aimed to solder one row per side of board and...

Hello, today I changed a broken switch, at the moment I was changing it, i didn't have a desolder pump so to get the switch loose I used the solder tip and pushed towards the pcb, that ended badly, two small copper circles came out of the holes where the switch contacts should be soldered and...

Hello, bought a used Aorus z390 Elite but it arrived damaged as you can see in the picture. My question is if it can still be hooked up with power without worries since some solder bumps are now connected with each other. And can the front io, seen in the second picture, still be used with the...

I'm looking to start soldering, and I am looking into ways to handle fumes. I've read that activated carbon filters are really bad at filtering the fumes and particles, but the HEPA filters which can are a lot more expensive. I've also seen people put together something on their own to vent it...

Salute More than a year ago I moved my PC's case and then it turned off. Later I remeber it booted once again and finnaly turned off. Since that happened it haven't booted properly just gives power to fans and leds no beep code signals, no response. I deconstructed the whole system and...

Has anyone attempted to remove a damaged 1R0 inductor from a GPU before, and if so, what method did you use? Was it successful? I’m going to be attempting it, and want to know if there’s a best practice. some disclaimers: this will be on a GPU that I got for super cheap second-hand, mostly...

I had opened and took apart my mouse several times but this last time the wires disconnected from the board. So i soldered them. But after connecting it, windows pops up the error: "USB Device not recognized" . the red led on the mouse lights on, even dims after 5 seconds (like other mouses). Of...

I've just received a new MSI Bazooka V2 in the post. A quick scan of the motherboard reveal a few dry joints where the solder was seemingly absent, and a bit on the PCI X16 slot where there's a spherical bubble of solder. This just seems like really poor manufacturing. I'm returning the board...

I have an old Compaq Presario V3000 laptop. The flex cable of the laptop trackpad is almost ripped by me once when I was trying to open it on my own. So, I was thinking is it possible to solder the trackpad and the motherboard directly? Because I can't find the suitable flex cable where I live...
