Not really, it's coming from xeno companey, people who brought us xenoGC and xeno360 ...maybe, is it just me or is anyone else a bit skeptical about this product?
Can somesome explain to me please how quick solder works? Is there connections of the bottom of the PCB that sit on the pads and you merely heat from the top of the board? I've never seen/used quicksolder,
Also, what is the Lookout referring to on the picture above? Is this a sensitive area or just a reference point?
ive never soldered before . and i keep hearing everyone is gonna use wires. whats the diference? is quicksolder so bad?

A lot of people saying quicksolder is easy but it is also easy to stuff up. I've had to fix a friends GC when he quicksoldered a chip on it. It was a mess, he put too much solder on and it went all under the chip. very difficult to remove afterwards, then had to clean all the solder off.theres plenty guys who have never done this before . and quicksolder is more appealing aint it?If you've never soldered before then it's easy to stuff up either kind of install.
quicksolder is easier, but if a new chip comes along, its hard to remove... the entire chip is stuck to the board, so when you try to remove it, you cant pull up on the chip as easily, since 4 other points are still soldered.... wires give you flexibility, and easy to remove.
