Re: [BVARC] Request for Surface Mount Resistor help

Jeff, any lab bench today should be capable of handling smd components. There are thousands of videos on YouTube on how to do it, and what tools to use; spend a few hours searching around. Dave Jones at EEVBlog has done several good ones.

Re: [BVARC] Request for Surface Mount Resistor help

You can use solder wick to remove most of the solder from each side of the component. Then, touch the soldering iron tip back and forth to each side of the component. It will come loose while gently pushing it with a pair of tweezers or a little stick. Don't leave the soldering iron tip on the c

[BVARC] Request for Surface Mount Resistor help

Hello all, I am trying to remove and replace several Surface mtd Resistors in an old FT-100 Transceiver.  I managed to remove a defective SMD Diode, and suspect several of the resistors have drifted over the years, and probably also need to be replaced.  I have tried on those resistors with the
