Hi Everyone!
I googled a forum for help with Circuit boards and voila, here I am.
I need some help. I wanna remove a sim card reader on my Blackberry Z30, as i kinda broke it (oopsie). I can order the part fine, however in terms of tools, some people say to use a heat gun to remove it, some say you can use a soldering iron. If its possible to do it all with an iron I would like that in terms of keeping price down.
Im wondering what resources you feel would be best to learn:
-The basics of soldering, tinning, and cleaning the tip and when to do certain things (ive seen guys kinda smack the solder of their iron and such, I just dont know the mechanics of it)
-Removing chips and SMC
-A good starting iron and what I will need. Ive seen sponges, and tape and all sorts of things, just curious to know what I will need.
the plan isnt to just fix the z30 and never touch it again, I want to get into it but this is my first project.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Jordan
