    Ipod Repair Anyone? SMD Soldering

    The solder was just taken off the pad If I new were to by a ribbon cable conecter that would be best as it would be easier for the person soldering it and there are no pass through wires that i know of. on the other side the pcd is coverd with other things so i know theres not a connection going...

    Ipod Repair Anyone? SMD Soldering

    Is there really no one out there who can do SMD soldering on something this small. I really need your guys's help with this, as I do not want to fork over $60 for a new logic board as I have already bought a new case, hard drive, and screen.

    Ipod Repair Anyone? SMD Soldering

    While installing a new hard drive for my Ipod classic 6th gen 80gb, I broke off the little white and brown clip that hols the battery ribbon to the pins on the board. I was thinking If somone was good enough at soldering they could solder a wire to each little pin and then connect those directly...

    Lighting fuses

    Hi, I just tried it with my red laser and it lit without sharpie in like 3 seconds but I am only running it off 4.5v with a 150ma rockstr driver. And the distance was about 6 inches or so. I am guessing its around 130mw or less.

    i just finished soldering my diode and. . .

    alrighty i fixed and man is it bright what do you think the duty cycle is i was just outside with it and yes i can see the beem its so cool and it was not warm even after a minute and i am running it 150ma. If i had a duty cycle of 1 minute on 1 minute off how long should it last me?

    i just finished soldering my diode and. . .

    i am using four AA's so that should be 6 volts. And the circuit board i orderd a while back was set to 150ma so it will last long.

    i just finished soldering my diode and. . .

    ok so i finished soldering up my first laser and the rckstar circuit board gets really warm but the diode does not light up at all. If i killed it wouldn't it at least be dim and i accidentally soldered to the bottom because i am dumb so i resolderd it on the top and i know the ground is to...

    My diode is loose in the aixiz housing?

    well i put of soldering it for tonight im going to try and maybe find that arctic 5 epoxy. If I pull on the diode i can make it come out like less then half a mm. But i think arctic silver 5 thermal compound for cpu's will work just as well maybe. I also have a question should i solder wires to...

    My diode is loose in the aixiz housing?

    Well tonight I am going to solder my diode to the circuit i got from rckstr. So I was putting them in roach clips and realized before I did that that the diode is loose in the housing. :-? I can twist the whole thing around the diode with ease but if i pull the diode out a bit it gets tight. Is...

    Micro-Drive laser driver by rkcstr

    Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module I did read the updates i guess im used to things getting here quick like my senkat diode got to my house in three days lol. I just cant wait to finish my laser after i get this im going to buy a heat sink and a mxdl light to put it all in. :)

    Micro-Drive laser driver by rkcstr

    Re: Micro-Drive laser driver – fits Aixiz module I ordered mine 4/1/08 and still have not received it and I live in the u.s. Any ideas why. I see amkdeath got his but he was further down the order line then I was which makes no sense. I cant wait to get it though.

    dorcy 1w 3aaa led 41-4285

    Has anyone used the dorcy model #41-4285 as a laser host because my friend got me this flashlight for my birthday and i was wondering if it will work I just dont know how many ma it puts out but either way im going to use a 5ohm resitor to get the current to around 200-250ma. Tell me what you...

    solderless ld connection

    Well even though no one here likes ld sockets i found a place that sells them its thorlabs dot com and saerch s8060 for the socket but they dont just sell that they sell allot of other kool stuff i have a question how does two 10 ohm resitors = 5 ohms when 5 ohms allows more current then 10...

    solderless ld connection

    ok thanks for the input gazoo and yes i did get it from senkat at stonetek.org i thinks thats the corect name. i will try my luck at soldering tomorow

    solderless ld connection

    Ok thanks for the help you guys ill cut off some l.e.d. leads and solder them to the pins on the diode and i have one more question is it safe to bend the diode pins just so u dnt get any solder on the other pins accidently?
