      I've been to a professional high school for Electronics. Unfortunately, it sucked and didn't teach us much. We basically just put solder on the boards, and sucked it up with a pump...we did only a couple of projects, and they were collective...so I learned nothing and did nothing.
      I've been trying to solder these few years, to fix LED bulbs, cables and other things. I've never managed to succeed. I am using lead-free solder and a 60W (450degrees) iron. I'm cleaning the tip and using flux, but I can't manage to solder ANYTHING. The solder sticks to the iron, or the small sphere falls on the table. Solder WILL NOT stick to copper wires or circuit contacts. The tip of the iron takes 8-10 seconds to melt the solder, and the only way to work is to use the body or base of the iron tip to melt the damned solder. What the hell am I doing wrong? Is it the solder's fault, the iron's the flux's???

      @@Albanez39 i think the main issue is you're using Lead-free solder. Lead-free solder is much harder to heat up and requires a preheater. Try using some 60-30 leaded solder with rosin core. much easier to heat and to work with.

      @PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +cheasea Ok, didn't notice that. I needed to solder a new DC jack onto an ASUS laptop motherboard (never tried anything of the sort before). The tip on heating the metal plate and wire, then feeding in the solder made it so damn easy. Except when one especially thick pin on the Jack wouldn't get hot enough. That was the only sketchy bit, I didn't want to turn up the iron too much for fear of melting a very expensive board lol. I eventually used the force or something but there's definitely enough solder on it now.

    Fantastic video - short, sweet and to the point! I had a course in college where they had us solder components to a board but I only knew the most basic objective, which was somehow getting the melted solder into place and then letting it cool to harden. I had a tough time because I kept trying to just melt the solder directly from the iron onto the component; I never knew you were supposed to heat the component first and use that to melt the solder. Live and learn!

    the thing they don't tell to beginners is that the copper board lies in electronic shops four month and years and builds a very nice copper oxide layer which makes the surface tension higher for the solder tin and when you use some cheap equipment the results will not be to good - so to begin you should use cream cleanser in order to remove that form the copper

      @qwanom 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ShoeGame use colophony (rosin) flux, based on tree resin! Acid flux sould be cleaned by using a pure alcohol. Acid fluxes are used for soldering an iron based wire, etc.
      You can find also cream like soldering paste based on rosin, liquid - rosin dissolved in alcohol and pure colophony, like a rock, yellow or red transparent.
      For surface mount (SMD) there is a paste with low temperature melting solder and flux, but this kind of soldering is made by hot air soldering gun or infrared stand (which is expensive).

My reply was directed at the comment which directed people to twist the wires together before soldering. I, in no way made reference to whether the creator of this video did anything correctly or incorrectly. I simply made reference to the demonstrated method being the strongest method as per NASA. According to NASA-STD-8739.4A - 2016-06-30 page 69 line #: d. The conductors to be spliced shall not be twisted together.

    Excellent tutorial!! You mentioned things other tutorials completely neglect...simple, but important things such as in what order to remove the solder and gun. Nice! Thanks for your time.

    Yesterday was my first time soldering, and I just assumed you out the solder on the iron itself.
    Honestly, this video is an amazing help! And I'm sure if I watched it before I soldered yesterday, it would've looked a lot better XD
    Thanks so much for the video!

    Why do American;s pronounce it SODDER instead of SOLDER. Is the army full of SODDIERS too?

      @@hazoomeh In the UK, the 'l' in solder is pronounced. If you discover how the Americans came to believe it was silent, please let me know. "Sole-der", as with "sole-juh" (soldier) is the norm where the English language was created, although it can occasionally be heard pronounced as "sol-der", with a short 'o'.

      Are you saying that Americans don't know how to talk correctly? If while reading that sentence, you didn't pronounce the word "talk" the same as you would pronounce the word "talcum", you aren't terribly consistent with your pronunciation either. If you're going to talk the talk, you should walk the walk.

      @@KnuckleHunkybuck Clearly not. I merely expressed a knowledge of the linguistic divide created by the span of the Atlantic. As you ought to know, the English language is rife with pronunciation discrepancies, so your example is void. Don't get defensive: I stated a fact and asked how it came to be that the American pronunciation differs from that of the English that gave the USA its (now bastardised) language.

      Uh, I was replying to Em Elle's original comment. My very point was that there are discrepancies, therefore her(?) ascertainment that "solder" should be pronounced the same as "soldier" was moot. If you don't pronounce the "l" in "talk", "walk", "balk", or "stalk", clearly a silent "l" is very much a part of the English language.

    Somebody on Reddit told me these additional tips: 1. Prepare your working area. Make sure you like the table you are working at. Rehearse the soldering with a cold soldering iron at the table, that way you know how you'll have to hold the iron when you are actually soldering, and this is when you make sure your cord is long enough.
    Also prepare in advance for when you are finished soldering. Decide where to set the soldering iron to safely cool off. (Also don't forget the component you were soldering will still be hot)
    Having a stand for your soldering iron is good because it can help you avoid grabbing the hot end of it and burning yourself good, and stay in "careful mode" until the iron has cooled down. That is, stay alert and be careful while the iron is still hot. If you become too relaxed you may have accidents from not paying attention like accidentally grabbing the hot iron and burning yourself or moving your finger too close to the iron when moving the circuitboard being soldered.

    Thank you! I've obviously been doing it all wrong! It's weird, though. I've been trying to do something similar but I guess I just haven't been patient enough. After watching this quick guide I was confident it would work and it did. My solders looks really nice and works perfectly. Luckily I hadn't just thrown away all the things I weren't able to repair, so I had a list of work to do;
    My beloved (and vintage) 360 controller; Now working perfectly.
    My old gaming headset where one speaker had lost audio connection; Now working perfectly.
    My wife's tablet got a few components replaced; Sucked away my poor solders, replaced them and now it's working like a charm.
    Why didn't I think of looking for help on youtube before!!!
