I probably started this work log too early but oh well. I’ve finally decided to start my project!
So I kinda got into trouble on the first soldering part. After removing all of the components on U5 and finally desoldering U9 (one of the legs on U10 snapped) I wanted to clean all of the pads to prepare for the relocation. The only problem is that I accidentally removed all of the solder on one of the pads (see image) and I just can’t seem to get fresh solder on that pad. The solder doesn’t melt on the pad and when I put it right next to my iron it just sticks to said iron.
Does anyone have any experience with this or should I just keep at it with a different iron tip? (I’m currently using a 0.8mm tip). If you guys have any techniques that you would like to share please let me know asap. I really wanna get this part done!
PS. Just realised. I’m going to have the same problem when relocating Bluetooth right? How do you guys get the solder to stick to the traces?
I hope these questions aren’t too noobish. Thanks in advance guys!
Edit: After some more research I’ve concluded the solder panda might’ve come off. In that case I was wondering if that pin has to be connected to that pad. Seen as I’m cutting the trace leading from the pad I was thinking that it doesn’t serve much purpose anyway right?
