Best way to remove solder from pin header holes

[rich12313]

Im about to try and remove the solder so i can put the pin headers in and flash the nand. But im a little curious as how to do this. I have desoldering braid, but i cant seem to suck all the solder out. How long can i keep the iron (15watt) on the hole before itll mess it up?

thanks

Make sure you use flux and possibly add a little extra solder first.

You should be ok for a while but it's judgement really use common sense and don't hold it too long.

i use a solder sucker and it clears the holes real fast.

I think it will be easier and cheaper to but one. They are not expensive.

Or if you are really lazy (like me) use a pin vise lmao. Just be very careful and if you use an automatic one don't miss and ruin the contacts.... lol

why not just take a drill to it All you need is either a braid or bulb, and some flux.

Heres another question....for some reason these two holes where the 5 cable hookup is...the solder wont melt? the others liquidize quickly, but these two holes wont...any ideas?

I use to have the same issue. I added some flux and it fixed the problem.

OMG i cant get this to work...every single god dam time it says it cant detect a flash controller

did not soder correctly. Probably not a good joint.

Lol True that, but I find using a pin vise speeds up the process 10 fold

Sorry for all these questions...

my friend has his xbox jtagged using an SPI flasher, but he doesnt have the SPI flasher anymore...can you take the wires in this picture (text continued below)

Strip the connections off, then strip the connections off the ends of #4 (text continued below)

And then flash the nand using the nand x?

So my question is can i just connect the wires in picture1 to the end of the wires of the #4 in picture 2, connect it to my nand x and will it work?

thanks
