Broken pins on Naomi mobo

Aye I reckon so, I don't have another bios besides that multi slave, but the board wasn't powering on at all before, I may pull the bios from my working mobo later just to be 100%

Time for a large mugti of tea to celebrate

 

Nice work - impatience is a virtue born of being Scottish and determined not to spend the money on someone else repairing your motherboards lol. Worked out well dude. Can give you another BIOS for that pcb and bring it over Sat to test it if you wish!

 

:lol:

You and me both, I have lost any soldering skills I may have possessed - I am incapable of anything but the basics these days. Give me solid state you are fine, but SMDs - forget it!

 

Holy shit, congratulations dude. That must be have been a creepy job!

Nice that you managed to do it yourself, impressive indeed.

 

Ah cool, thanks m8 will do

Thanks to the folk who posted tips in the thread too!

 

That Kynar wire ROCKS, doesn't it?

Congrats on getting it fixed. Feels great to bring a board back from the dead!

 

Surprisingly good, I got 15m of it for £2.50 delivered too :thumbsup:

 

Gahhh... can't... wait... till saturday... must...tesst it



Dr Frankenstein's monster lives!

Another shot of the Kynar for your amusement

 

Nice work man. Its always more satisfying to revive a dead system than it is to get another one.

 

another victory! Gotta love all the labour of love going on around this forum

 

Good job dude. Kynar is my daily staple for repair work. Very handy stuff. For future reference, I find a wee syringe of solder paste is useful for jobs like that. Just tip the kynar with a wee bit of paste, position the wire, touch with iron and job done!

As Parris said, if you ever have tricky jobs like that one, that you dont fancy yourself - I'm more than happy to have a look for you (foc).
Also if anyone needs BGA type work done, I'll hopefully be getting my sweaty little mitts on a full IR rework system in 6-8 weeks.

 

Very kind of you mate, cheers!

 

i hope you fix it good luck

 

Another way is to tin the trace and the kynar wire then put a dab of liquid rosin flux on the trace. When you put the lead to the trace and touch them both with the iron it'll reflow the solder nicely. The flux helps keep it from becoming a nasty looking cold solder joint.

The liquid flux is much easier to keep for years at room temperature than solder paste.

apologies for the coarse language, but DAMN.
and here i thought i had done small solders when i chipped a ps2....

great job

 

cool good to see that it works again

 

Aww shucks, thank ye one and all! :redface:

 

A hot glue gun will do just fine in encasing that job.

I did not know you can do that to those chips.

 

That's what I was planning on doing, I have a nice Dremel one and the matching Dremel glue, pretty good stuff
