PCB school

Post by Reeltarded »

I have a couple amps that are giving me the business, one from unobtanium pots, the other from everything checks out but will not power on.

What specialty tools should I be using besides knife edged probes for tight space and needle sized points on the iron? There must be a trick to this teardown thing too. It's like Chinese handcuffs even on a Twin. Trapped! heh
