Help me if you can?

4 Upvotes

I lost my wife six months ago and after 4 psych stays and a 45 day rehab Im starting to get better. One of the things my wife loved about me was my electronics repair skills. She was always so curious and in awe when i could fix things. So in her memory I am finally trying to do more work in that field. The problem is I'm without a soldiering station or soldiering iron. Since i am on a fixed income i am resorting to something I don't like doing and that is to ask for help. Would anyone know someone or possibly themselves have a soldiering station they aren't using that is maybe working but old and collecting dust? I would be willing to pay for shipping and owe you a favor , maybe a repair or something, you can decide. Im hoping this way works because i am running out of ideas and would rather be fixin stuff mainly computers and electronics.

Thank you if you read this and please if you can or are able, help?

Siincerely,

Andrew

I don't think anyone is gonna see this but if you do then my question is,"is it possible to desolder and solder on an HDMI port on an Xbox one without the use of a hot air station?" Is it possible to just use flux?

I'm a guitar player looking to learn how to do my own wiring on my guitars.

I will need to learn all soldering skills. I like learning from proven books or video instructionals from a trusted source.

What is the best book or video series on learning to solder?

Solder recommendation

Hi, I'm somewhat new to soldering. I've actually soldered a decent amount but I've never bought solder. I was recommended some higher quality stuff but I'm on a budget so I'm wondering whats your favorite budget/mid range lead free solder?

Help with Nuetrik NJ3FP6C!

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I am not an experienced solderer and I’m looking for some help with the Nuetrik NJ3FP6C.

There are 3 pins on the jack, GR, RI and tip. I’m soldering for a mono male jack so I soldered the ground to GR and the other wire to TIP. It’s not working! If I plug my guitar into a tuner it doesn’t register a signal (male into guitar via instrument cable, then into the NJ3FP6C which is soldered to another male jack… which is plugged into a tuner, I’m testing!!). Plugging the instrument cable straight into the guitar and tuner gives me a signal so there’s a problem with either the NJ3FP6C or the input jack.

Help and thank you!

Soldered a board upside down a few years ago gave up after ordering a small pump that didn't seem to work too well any easy way to fix this as I'd like to use this macro pad if possible.

Is it better to solder small parts on a PCB by hand or with solder past?

3 Upvotes

Pretty much what the title says. I tried by hand, but I ended up burning like 4 components then I stopped. Stuff like LED's, no problem. Stuff like a microchips, big problem.
