Broken as in it doesn't work anymore and we are screwed, or broken as in its not needed anymore? (either way, brb making sure my kindle's wifi is disconnected).
As for the solder points, I've opened my device and looked at the points and was reasonably confident I can hit those pads with my iron until I pulled the thing out and saw the state of its tip. It has a fairly fine point on it, its just corroded and rusted from being stored in the workshop during all the rain the last two years.
Were any of those "no solder" methods permanent? Because that is my goal, to leave the chip inside the casing for future use if needed. |
I know exactly where you are. I have been all around that area.
Now as to that soldering iron, yes you want a very fine tip. Motherboards are tiny.
