[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1848892, member: 97843"] This was when I found out my old HAKKO soldering station was not working(after probably 15+ years of work!). Had a friend go pick a new one up for me at MicroCenter- [ATTACH=FULL]31465[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]31464[/ATTACH] This HAKKO FX-888D is a crazy reliable station, is simple to use, and offers very stable temperature controls- all without breaking the bank. Definitely recommend it! There are various soldering equipment that you can use, but having tried many, I will never own anything except Hakko. I would've taken apart mine to see what's wrong, but I was wanting to buy a new one anyways because the plug connection was becoming a little loose. For soldering, I always use a mix of 60% tin and 40% lead. It's easy to work with and allows for a very reliable connection. For flux, I always use Chipquik SMD291. It's super easy to use, and VERY easy to clean!! Unfortunately, hat's all I have for tonight folks. Be back soon! [/QUOTE]
