Man talk about a nightmare
:grr

Btw this is not something I'm working on trying to repair.  Just a junk PCB  :tu:
They had some cool heatsinks on them too.

I'm blaming it on lead free solder but I don't know if it is or not.  I tried some tricks I have read about like adding flux and leaded solder.

On both there was one leg 🦵 🍗 that would not melt  :grr

Ultimately they did give up.

Ahhh yes  :tu:

I used to work at a place long ago that had a killer junkyard nearby.  Almost every day at lunch I would go hang out with the guys there, the owner gringo named Kerry and his helper little hispanic guy named Alex both great guys  <3)

Anyhow one time I needed a bracket or something for SBC so they said yeah go back there to this van I think should be one there.
So I grab a couple of tools and go back and find it....I can't budge the 🔩 bolts on it. :grr

I walk back to the office Kerry and Alex sitting in the air conditioning I told them I couldn't get the part because the bolts were too tight.

At that point Alex rattles off something in Spanish they both chuckled  :lmao:

I look at Kerry and ask him ok...what did he say  :trouble

Kerry says "he says you don't have enough huevos!"  8|

I was like....oh yeah?!?! Ain't got enough HUEVOS HUH?!?!

stomped back there for second attempt and got the job done  :lmao:
