My World
HI!
A few months a go I started a new job with a company called COMPAL. I used to be a field engineer repairing fax machines, copiers, laser printers and a few other products but it became uneconomical to repair machines on site. I am now a "re-worker" for COMPAL, which means that I replace components/fit modifications onto laptop computer circuit boards. All the boards seem to be from HEWLETT PACKARD. This is a panoramic photo of my work bench. I have just rearranged my bench (Fume extractor now on it's back next to the laptop, blowing air across the bench) because my small hot air re-work station has just come back from repair. (For the second time ) I hope you noticed the hi-tech equipment I use. A fancy hot air gun for removing IC's and connectors. Two soldering irons. (1 with a sticker on it for lead free boards) I replace connectors,small components and IC's. These are some of the IC's I have replaced during the last 2 months. I spend allot of time replacing keyboard controllers. Before During After Every now and then I have the wonderful task of working on BGA (Ball Grid Array) southbridges. We have started getting in lead free boards. (Blue PCB's) Working with lead free solder is a pain in the . I have finally worked out a technique, mixing lead free solder paste & flux together, then coating the ends of the IC pins and finally melting it with my small hot air station. When I get the time I will post some lead free images. |
