Person with hot air rework help
« on: September 01, 2011, 11:09:45 PM »
Can someone on the east coast with a hot air rework station repair a card I have here? It is a Vxl30 and it needs a new leg on the bottom side soldered in.

I am located in virginia and can send a picture of the leg.

PowerMac G4 MDD 1.5ghz 1.25GB 10.5.8 & MOS 2.7
Mac Mini C2D 10.6.8 2GHz 3GB 250GB HDD

iPad 2

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

That job doesn't require a hot air rework station, a $10 Radio Shack soldering iron would suffice.

I'd do it myself, but I have a good deal of money in this and dont want to risk messing it up.

I'll post a picture after work today of it.

Try Washington D.C. They have plenty of hot air.
