[s8n187]

hi TX members , like ive mentioned before i am preparing for a install of CoolRunner/JRunner and im looking for what solder to buy and use......................



going by whats available to buy at element14 , 60/40 dominated the site but that doesnt mean its the right solder to use for this project.



what do you guys use with success ?

Did you google this question? Im sure not because thia has been covered before. Watch JonnyGuns video or google it...apply yourself!

Agree. This has been covered in numerous threads but for what it's worth, I use 60/40 rosin core solder either 1mm for general modding or thinner for smd work. I also use insat super flux but some ppl swear by kingbo flux. Can't have enough flux

I use Kester SN63PB37 63/37 0.15 & it works well for all xbox related stuff.

hi guys im back , i have done some googling for Kingbo Fux and insat super flux ............. ive come up with a Authorized dealer for Kingbo Flux on ebay ' XModdz ' also i checked Kingbo Flux for Authorized sellers and they popped up


ive also chosen Multicore Solder Wire 60/40 1MM Rosin Core from element14



im pretty stoked with the help and what has been recommended

Did you google this question?

i use google a lot but in this case i havent because i wanted to talk to a Pro community of people who have had successful installs , i didnt want to google and find some random site where i couldnt trust what im reading


also this is a big deal for me and its something where poor soldering supplies incorrect flashing settings in JRunner etc...........can result in a bricked console , i want to get this project right i hope you understand where im coming from oO Elite Oo
