I may test it with a spare board i have here that has been acting up and I dont use.

This is a very good method for SOME PC boards, but you'll need to first make sure it'll work on the board you intend to fix using this method.
It works well with basic boards that are not multi level solder through. More complex boards that has massive IC pin connections and solder through points can be damaged using this method. Especially older boards. they are already stretching and warping, and that's the nature of the problems. When fixing them with an oven method they can stretch and warp even more, to include loose some contacts all together.
this is a very good idea for new boards. older boards have taking on a different personality, and have become very finicky with age and heat. |
Thats a good Point about the age of the boards... I have never tried it before but i do have an older board that gets intermittent problems as it heats up. Since its an old Board I will try it some time when I get the chance.
