Thanks for your write-up and advice. What is the best way to strip off
the varnish?
I use methylene-chloride-free paint stripper, typical hardware store
stuff.
I recoat with clear spray enamel.
can you recommend a model? I read one site which advised a 25 watt
model. I also need to get a solder sucker.
I use an ancient Weller with a PL114 tip. Probably from the 70's.
And a Sold-a-pullit sucker.
One site I read cautioned that overheating components like the
integrated circuits was a potential pitfall to a DIY approach. I did a
lot of soldering in college, so I'm pretty confident I know how much
heat is enough to get a good joint. Do you think any of the components
on this board are especially sensitive to heat?
No, no special caution required. I've fixed about a dozen of the
things. I'm not sure that I've ever had a car that _didn't_ need
that fixed. Plus the ones I did for others.
Besides the testing guide, there are my notes:
