Jim Davis.
would a decent eye loupe do the trick, as far as
determining where the problem lay? Truthfully I've had
problem power supplies in the past, and nailed each
solder junction (on the underside of the board) w/a
hot iron, and it always seemed to work like a charm
(can't remember why I suspected it was cracked solder
though). Soldering iron tips are made of copper, so I
don't see any reason why I couldn't chisel one down
for a specific task. Any thoughts? Am I courting
disaster?
