Review on π§ Highly Efficient SMD Rework Alloy - 4.5 ft. by Dwayne Calhoun
Recommended for desoldering on Xbox 360 but doesn't work at all
I bought this on the recommendation of several repair shops that regularly fix game consoles. It should mix with the stubborn heat-resistant solder that comes with the Microsoft Xbox 360 motherboard and weaken it, making it extremely easy to remove. It ended up not working at all and was more like regular solder than low temp. Even after using several soldering irons (even those that can get hot up to 2000 degrees). It just slid off the Microsoft solder and didn't stick well to anything.
Pros
- Easy chip removal without hot air station
Cons
- There are other interesting possibilities.
