Well I'm not a text book example I also made a lot of mistake in my "career" as a technician we always make mistakes that how we learn to avoid them even the best technicians make mistakes that normal we are just humans.Very good. You seem like a text book example of how it should be done. If you would be so kind to answer some of my questions would be a big help.
What tool do you use to pry open the apu shielding?
Do you use mini wire cutters?
Soldering iron make/model?
Flux brand?
At any point of the installation have you knocked or caused a shudder to the switch eg. Stripping wires with a yank reflex or metal shielding apu clips causing you to handle the clip mechanism more roughly?
Do you use Kapton tape near your solder joints to protect near by components?
Do you use anti static mat and or pcb holder and or anti-static wrist bands?
Solder type and mm of solder used?
Anything else that you feel might be beneficial to impart to the process for us.
Thank you in advance. I know its a lot but....I gots to know.
U just gotta learn from ur mistakes and try to keep avoiding them that's all I can say about that point.
Prying open the metal shield I use a needle to open the latches
Yeah cheapest mini cutters fur the sides of the shield
Soldering iron just a cheap Chinese station 909d+ there are different makers its with soldering iron and hotair gun.
Flux I use Kimbo RMA 218 I think
Sure I striped traces , knocked off components and and and.
No kapton tape to protect anything just learn to control ur soldering iron/hot air/tweezers/knives.
All I can say is get defective boards and train and learn how to accomplice ur work everyone has a different way to get there work done.
No static map , if u live in a place with low humidity and have a carpet I would recommend it.
Sure lots of different PCB holders from aliexpress
For soldering point on boards like switches I always use lowmelt solder and thin wires so if I accidently to rip on a wire it breaks before the pads.
On switch boards I use 0.1mm enameled wires.
But that's just my preference
Well anything else u live and learn with the jobs u do don't go to confident on ur work and always assume anything can happen just be carefull that's all I can say
