SMT Repair & Rework: Desoldering & Component Fixes
Practical, component-level repair and rework guides for populated boards: how to desolder SMD and through-hole parts, replace failed capacitors, connectors, and USB/charging ports, and fix lifted pads or broken traces. Each guide covers the right tools, temperatures, and technique, and shows when a stencil plus hot air or reflow is the cleaner route for re-soldering SMD parts. Links up to JLCPCB's stencil and assembly resources so you can repair a board and reprint paste with confidence.
