Matt300ZXT Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I've ordered a cap kit for my PS1 and I plan to replace them and freshen the system up for the next 25 years of use. All the caps look like the solder pads are accessible with an iron tip, but just curious if you guys prefer to use a hot air rework station instead and if there's any benefit of one versus the other?

Keatah Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 May need both because those little tabs often connect to large ground planes which need extra heat from the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astal4 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I heavily prefer a hot air station when working on SMD, but that's my take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
