| Once the part is off, turn off the heat, grab the part with a pair of |
| tweezers, and turn off the vacuum pump. Prepare the circuit board for |
| the new component by applying solder paste flux to the solder pads. |
| Position the circuit board under the |
| to approximately |
| on the heat. When the solder left behind on the pads reflows, turn off |
| the heat and raise the |
| the holder and inspect the pads to ensure that the solder has flattened |
| out and that there are no solder shorts. Clean the area with alcohol |
| and a small brush. |
| Once the preparation is complete, place the circuit board back in the |
| circuit board holder. Add solder paste flux to the solder pads and place |
| the new component on the circuit board. Position the |
| over the component and lower it to approximately |
| 0.6cm) above the carrier. Turn on the heater and wait for the |
| component to reflow. |
| Once the component reflows, raise the |
| approximately one minute for the part to cool. Remove the circuit |
| board and inspect the repair. No cleaning should be necessary. |
Shields |

Removing and Replacing the | will be done with the |
Shields: | remove and replace TSOP and PBGA components. |
| Place the circuit board in the circuit board holder. Select the proper |
| heat focus head and attach it to the heater chimney. Add solder paste |
| flux around the base of the shield. Position the shield under the heat- |
| focus head. Lower the vacuum tip and attach it to the shield by |
| turning on the vacuum pump. Lower the focus head until it is |
| approximately |
| heater and wait until the shield lifts off the circuit board. Once the |
| shield is off, turn off the heat, grab the part with a pair of tweezers, and |
| turn off the vacuum pump. Remove the circuit board from the circuit |
| board holder. |
| To replace the shield, add solder to the shield if necessary, using a |
| |
| edge of the shield to smooth out any excess solder. Use solder wick and |
| a soldering iron to remove excess solder from the solder pads on the |
| circuit board. Place the circuit board back in the circuit board holder. |
| Place the shield on the circuit board using a pair of tweezers. Position |
| the |
| |
| for the solder to reflow. |
| Once complete, turn off the heat, raise the |
| approximately one minute for the part to cool. Remove the circuit |
| board and inspect the repair. No cleaning should be necessary. |
RF PA (U105) | The procedure for removing and replacing the RF PA is very similar to |
| the procedure for removing and replacing an PBGA or a TSOP |
| component. But because the device is large, extra heating time is |
| required to flow the pads. And as a result, neighboring components |
| (especially those on the opposite side of the circuit board) will heat, |
