Someone prepare my board for LT switch.....

[Pingaheimer]

I need someone to prepare my board, so i can solder on the Lt switch myself.

I need someone good who has rep on here to cut the traces and prepare the pads properly. I'm thinking maybe 15 or 20 bucks should cover that? I messed one board up and have a brand new untouched one right now....

Thanks.

just get yourself a fiber glass scratch pen http://www.modtraders.co.uk/xecuter-fiberglass-scratch-pen.html

I don't understand, what exactly does the fiberglass pen do?

 

[Pingaheimer]

I just can't get those pads done correctly.

i have problems to with the lt switch turns green end red
drive wont eject or detect anymore
maybe broken,
i think iam gone bring it to someone,
i only need the liteon key.

You may have severed one of the thin cables soldered unto the logic board, it happened on mine. The thin red one, and my drive wouldn't eject. So i soldered it back on and it worked again. Make sure the cables haven't been unattached.

use sand paper that what i used
and look for shorts

see the rules at the top of the page ?

note the part where it says....

DO NOT HI-JACK THREADS

and what do you think the fiber glass pen is for ?

 

[Pingaheimer]

To clean up. That's not what i need though, i can't cut the area around the pads with my Xacto knives so the solder can make contact.

no no no. Thats EXACTLY what the Fiber glass pen is for !

The xacto knife is for cutting the traces
It would REALLY help you if you actually read what certain tools were actually for - the fiber glass pen is even in the LT Switch tutorial !

the fibreglass pen is for cleaning up the pads prior to soldering, and the xacto knife is for cutting the traces. as X said. its easy.

 

[Pingaheimer]

Ok, i'm gonna buy it. How would the pen work exactly? It says use a fibreglass pen but it says nothing on how to use it or show how to Do it...

 

[BGAMods]

all you do is rub the points with it and it cleans them up ready to be soldered. its got stiff fibreglass bristles that actually scratch away the crap from the points that you are going to be soldering to. therefore it makes it easier to solder to the point once it has been cleaned.

Do you understand now?

 

[Martin3912]

if you want also put flux to make your solder better

 

[BGAMods]

yea forgot to add that but yes once cleaned use flux and itll help the solder to stick to the pcb. thanks martin for adding that mate.

 

[Pingaheimer]

I'll buy it and hopefully it''ll work.

 

[BGAMods]

theyre real good for cleaning the pcb so yes id definately get 1.
