Hi :)

I'm pretty new to soldering, only been doing it a few months and I started a picofly install service just because I've found it quite fun and it seems to be quite profitable

I've done atleast 15-20~ OLEDs now and i think 4-5~ of them so 25%~ of them end up with some component damaged on the display rail

At first I was thinking it was my PCB mount bending pins on the LCD ZIF FPC but even with another mount/vice/clamp its still happening

Seems to be completely random, I can't for the life of me figure out why this keeps happening

The last one was working well and I got it assembled working, started to create the emunand and then suddenly the display was yellow
Others typically the screen is completely black but dockable, seen another one go yellow too

I just dont get it, is there a point near the nand adapter or somewhere else that gets soldered to during the install thats for the display?

I feel so bad damaging these consoles, obviously I replace them or at least the motherboard for my customers but I hate having to tell them theres delays / that the motherboard is damaged etc

I am using a pinecil v2, esd wrist wrap, hakko omnivise, hakko metal tweezers, and a set of metal tweezers that have plastic tips for many things like dealing with the ribbon cables / zifs

Also using MG Chemicals, no clean flux, and solder with no clean flux in it as well and their cotton swabs for cleaning, also using 99% IPA with the cotton swabs

I'm super new so maybe theres something obvious I'm missing?? I'm not sure,

Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated.
