Here are pictures from the last half dozen who tried that approach: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12470740.jpg http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12470742.jpg http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12470745.jpg http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12470747.jpg http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12470748.jpg http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/12470750.jpg Most who try to unpot fail, mainly due to damage caused to the surface-mount circuit board during the initial mechanical degooping step. Those deft few who avoid knocking off the surface-mount components with the debriding chisel, are left with a badly bruised board, where some have said they've resoldered solder cracks (see pics). One problem with "put a bigger xtor" is that nobody on this planet has produced a decent circuit diagram of the FSU. Does anyone here have access to an FSU circuit diagram? |
