    I own a reflow station and I can tell you that one doesn't come with everything you need. You need a stand to hold the nozzle which alone is over $100. It's worth it, if you play on doing a lot of reflowing. Keep in mind, reflowing doesn't always work if the solder is gone on the board. I always do the 12Volt FAN mod after I reflow and usually sell the system. It takes time and patience too. Don't expect it to just work. It takes experience and the right temps to reflow properly. I always backup my work with a small warranty.

    Thanks for the info, is the stand the only other thing i will need or will i need anything else and do you think it will be suitable for xbox 360's?

    You will also need a hotplate. That's another $100--$200. Some people use a crappy giddle but the hotplate is made to go onto the stand.

    not true .. i have a IR reflow machine and my constant temps are 277C with a little bit of flux. I also reflow the ram and southbridge and hana with the smaller lens.
    *blatant pimping of reflow services removed*

    anyboby - No bumping.

    Subscribed to thread as some members think it's acceptable to advertise their reflow services here.

    I'm well aware that the bumps were a while ago, obviously i commented on it to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
    I'm perfectly chilled actually (plus it's literally -5C here according to my firefox weather thingy) however i don't appreciate being told to chill out.
    I do two things on this site, i moderate yes, but i participate in huge amounts of threads where i pass on my knowledge and experience as a normal poster. So yes i enjoy participating and helping people but no i don't enjoy moderating, if people could use the forums properly i wouldn't have to moderate and stick to participating and helping people. I'm not complaining however, by moderating i still get to help people, just in a different way.

    Lastly, i think you'll find we have two regulars in this forum that have most certainly been offering reflow services, my eyes don't deceive me, hence why i subscribed, as i said before.

    edit- make that three regulars..

    The thread can now continue ?..

    I understand the rules regarding offering reflow service and not paying for advertising, Im sure we all know that you didnt make this rule, you only police it.

    I do feel for you creaky and we do appriciate all that you do here. When you get idiots on here slagging off regulars, we can rely on your to do whats needed to be done (#cough Dred05 cough#).

    Dont get me wrong, not being a suck ass, just wanted you to know that without guys (i think your a guy) like you, we wouldnt have a afterdawn.

    Thanks, but as i say, i shouldn't even have to moderate, people should self moderate.
    And anyway, people aren't supposed to like me, moderators are meant to be despised, it's the law )
