So I am the kinda guy who hasn’t got a lot of money and doesn’t know that much about electronics yet.*I say yet as I am trying to learn so feel feel to give links to decent tutorials* any way’s have a few questions. doesn’t the the heat from the bottom, hurt/mess up the bottom of the board? the reason I ask is, I a owner of a x-xbox 360 that has been been j tagged But after a while of usage I have the ugly Red Ring of Death :(, it needs re bailing. But as i said i can’t afford to send it off to some random larry and have a chance i may never see it, or having keys stolen so they can play there xbox online get me? would this method work on a 360? has you or anyone else got any other solution, i Don’t own a Heat gun nore a solder iron, but a solder iron i can get from next door. thank you in advanced for any info

While you can take on board the criticisms from the guys who do this daily, don’t take them to heart – if it works, thats good, if there’s a better way that’s easily accessible then change it, if not don’t fret.

Alignment is hard so have a courtyard silkscreened. Then toast till toasty.

I’ve seen better and I’ve worse. There where many times when I didnt have the proper equipment to reflow/reball,but I used what I had at my disposal and it worked fine.
Its all about doing and learning from your mistakes.

I do soldering with a stencil all the time. I actually used a mylar stencil for the rest of the board. :)

Next time I make a board with a stencil I’ll record it.

Jack.

Anyone tried this??
