Tested the sensors and heater. Everything seems good. Any tip? Is there a way to test the triac?

Hi Albert,

Even using Hot-Air on top you could not desolder the LED's? I'll be checking my preheater soon on LED's. If it is just one LED that is bad on my TV, I may just jump across it and put it back together. But my Preheater has been working great so far. It is supposed to be capable of reaching 400C.

PS: About the above mentioned PTC Heater element it is tested yesterday with the double layer thick copper LG Led strips of the LG LC420DUE 42 inch TV. It was not capable to heat the leds on the top layer enough to be able to disassemble them with this Heater. Only the one thin layer copper led strips and (bga) boards are usable with this Heater.

That's good Albert. I hope you like it. I like them because they have some weight to them, don't take up much space on my bench, and grip very good. You can just barely put pressure on the turn knob and it grips good. But you will want another one for larger boards or for holding two different things.

Yesterday I paid 87,06 Euro's including 21% TAX for one Omnivise Robert. That is including 21% TAX on 6,95 Euro Shipping cost! So I doubt if I will buy another one soon. Tomorrow it will be here. I noticed that they were sold out on some eBay site. And there they were just as expensive as where I bought it in the Nederlands but I get it much quicker now of course.

I'm just saying how I love my Omnivise's. I'm not trying to convince anyone into buying one mainly because they are expensive. But be careful, because if you buy one, you will want another one! Lol

I paid $59.99 each for my Omnivise's. I don't know why they are so expensive. Maybe they have some gold in them? Lol! But I love them! I have some of Damon's books.

You convinced me Robert to also buy one of those Hakko C1390C Omnivise stands. But only one. They indeed are pricey! But they are very safe in holding a solder iron to keep our hands free if need be.
