Until we get out of EU?

Any time I have a intermittent problem with a RoHS circuit board, I bring
it to work and put it through an old Hollis wave soldering machine that
still uses lead. Don't even bother to trouble-shoot first. Fuck lead free.

Well yes, that's all very well, but as a professional repairer, I'm
unfortunately bound by law to use appropriate repair materials to preserve
the bloody RoHS certification. It would be just my luck to finish up as the
soldering equivalent of the poor sod who became known as "The Metric
Martyr", and was jailed for selling his fruit and veg to old dears, using
pounds and ounces ...

But I know exactly where you're coming from :-)

I know you have but I will say this anyway. Compared to pulling a certain
Mackie 16 ch mixer apart where all sixteen channels are on one board, and
where I counted 102 mini shaft nuts removed with needle nose because I
didn't have a shaft nut driver that small, and an additional 48 philips
screws just to replace one LED, your experience with the Fender is a walk
in the park on a sunny day.

I suppose as Fender is now a pseudo-American company then no warning green
RoHS stickers on the outside or PbF or similar on the overlay.
If companies, in general, were concerned about reliability AND have to live
with PbF then they would have specified ring-barbs to be formed around any
thru-board leads

Its time for a full blown ROHS revolt. String the morons up on light
poles as a warning to other idiot Beauracrats. :)

While I wouldn't suggest such a drastic action (neutering them and
their children would be more beneficial), I do applaud the goal.

The fact is that lead in the food chain IS a problem. Banning lead
in paints (in particular paints used in children't toys), in the
paints and glazes used on ceramic containers, etc is a very good idea.
However when they reach the point of degrading the reliability of
items which an infant would ever be able to chew on, they have gone
beyond the bounds of reason. I have even heard an allegation
(unverified) that there is a move to remove all books printed before
1970 because the ink may contain lead.

Lead in solder is an alloy and less likely to form the lead based
compounds that get into food. It would make more sense to make
recycling easier. That would keep the solder in a closed loop. It
would also help recover some precious metals that are lost in the waste
stream.

Oh I know, Meat, I know ... Not so long back, I did a similar one with over
100 knobs. I had to take a picture of it to make sure they all went back
where they should. Just putting the knobs back on took about a half hour,
let alone all the nuts and washers ... !!

I'm not so sure. Ever since 'they' removed lead from toys, house paint,
gasoline, candle wicks, now solder, and gawd knows what else, we ("we":
the U.S.) have had year after year of dumber and dumber children.


Don't get me started about how out of whack global weather has become
since 'they' banned atmospheric testing of thermonuclear weapons...

True, but you should have no trouble finding an inexpensive torx set. This

I have this tv and got the orange light to replace, and then flashing
red light to replace the bulb. After installation, I wasn't able to
reset the bulb counter. I tried doing pressing the MENU key over and
over again to get to the OSD menu. But wouldn't work. Then after about
ten minutes of watching TV the screen started to get static across the
screen. Kind of like snow but only in random spots. To diagnose I then
disconnected everything and tried going back to the menu screen which
I still was getting this fuzzy/snowy spots. So I know the issue isn't
due to my cable connection.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

TOPIC: Cisco 3750G switch, fans not working

Hi,
I have one of these on my workbench and both the fans aren't working,
the switch itself is fine. On inspection it appears that an SMD
component has come off the motherboard, Z1. Whether this was due to
bad soldering or if it's been knocked I can't tell. There doesn't
appear to be any signs of physical damage or heat.
Tracing the circuit shows that the power to the fans was delivered by
this component and I would suspect it was a zener. Without the
original I wouldn't have a clue what the value was and these days it's
highly unlikely to be marked anyway!
I'm unable to find any servicing info on these boxes so in desperation
I'm hoping somone might have one they could look inside. The only
other 3750's we have are single fan units and the power arrangement is
different.
I've also left a note on the Cisco site but so far not received any
replies.

Thanks
Bob
