I get to know from past 6 months of looking home electronics,that most
of them failed b/c of solder fault.
I never done soldering by hand,although done SMT Inspection jobs,now I
know importance of soldering quality in electronics.
I need to start hand soldering to get repair all my household
electronics,any idea where and which machine I will purchase for this
purpose?
Thanks
 
Thaqalain:
If you have questions like this.... try using the google search
engine.... type in "weller soldering iron" and click search. In less
than a few seconds you will have hundreds or thousands of good hits
regarding the places you can purchase a "hand soldering tool",
otherwise known as a soldering iron.
A small 25 watt, no frills iron will do the job for handyman, do it
yourself, home soldering. As you tackle more elaborate soldering
tasks then maybe a temperature controlled soldering station might be of
interest, but definately overkill for most do-it-yourself home repair
projects.

Thaqalain-

As Electricitym suggested, you can research soldering iron or soldering
tool on the web. Some companies that sell such supplies may have tutorial
information at their web sites.

A couple of points you should consider:

1. Take care that you do NOT use acid-core solder or acid flux. It is
corrosive and will ruin electronic equipment.

2. There is a trend away from using solder containing lead because of its
poisonous effects on the environment. There is another reason not to use
it on modern electronic circuits with surface-mount components. Lead
amalgamates with silver in these components, causing them to become an
open circuit.

During your research, look for information on lead-free solder.

my Adapter run PC speakers,my brother said to me that I have damaged
pad,but today I applied paste on exposed pad area and done strong
soldering.I don't know why speakers are not giving response.
