taximan Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have just found this stuff and will be ordering some for myself shortly to test it. http://store.curiousinventor.com/top-sellers/chip-quikr-surface-mount-desoldering-kit.html It seems like a great solution to de soldering smd's. This is not an aff link. (Mods,I wasn't sure whether to put this in here as smd de soldering seems to be a problem or in to the tips and tricks sec tion,please alter as you see fit). cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Which i had known about that before i destroyed the gm5. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seppoman Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks for reminding me that this stuff exists. I've seen a video some years ago but never bought that stuff. As there's obviously no way of buying ChipQuik in Europe, I've searched the net and read on the mikrocontroller.net wiki that ChipQuik is probably similar to the so-called Roses Metal. This stuff can be bought (in large bars) from TMP-Loettechnik in Germany - there you can get a 100g piece for a similar price like the ChipQuik starter set. I have ordered this stuff and will post my results after trying it out :) S BTW I'm moving this thread over to Tips & Tricks as it is also relevant for GM5 etc. and maybe won't get lost on the tenth page of the forum so quickly.

Snoozr Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 just a follow up: the quick chip works as advertised. Successfully desoldered GM5s without indecent +1 but on a different part. Although mine was entirely decent :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
