I use a Metcal MX500 smart heat system mainly, I use a 180 deg LMP solder with lead content and flux paste and usually aim for 250-320 deg depending on how badly the PCB in question soaks heat.
Hi just done my insignia all lights worked then the next day turned ignition on and nothing (no needles moving and no lights) looks like a loose connection as keeps flickering on and off. Have you come across this before, is the wiring loom common problem?
Its hard to diagnose an issue without seeing the actual PCB and soldering etc but if your still stuck pop me some images over to michael@crazyleds.co.uk I will help best I can
@MichaelCrazyLEDs ok so ive seen led's with 4 legs and some with 2 and in asking how do you identify the name of it or is it universal and its easy to find. On the board of the cluster i forgot to write
@A86-t3y OK I'm with you now, I have not seen one of these clocks with PLCC4 led, they look like a PLCC4 but they are PLCC2. If you have any images of your board so I can confirm drop me an email at michael@crazyleds.co.uk @@A86-t3y
Hello, your videos are very good although I don't know much English 😅. What temperature do you usually set the soldering station to? , all the best

These LEDs look different to the ones I purchased from you will they be correct before I strip my cluster out ?
