Circuit board/PCB repairs etc

[SkidMarkKing]

Hi guys,

Can anyone advise on the equipment needed to get into soldering/repairing PCB boards, computer motherboards etc?

I know a solder, heat gun but not sure how much I would need to spend on other equipment such as thermal cameras and any other equipment.

Thanks

Good thermal cameras seem to be the preserve of Flir. Sony do some good USB microscopes. The Iranian guy on YouTube with a channel named something like Northridge Fix goes into some detail on the gear he uses and he seems to have a huge customer base and tackles some tricky looking repairs. Of course component removal and replacement is only a part of it, finding WHAT component needs replacing comes first [/URL]

Will check his channel out actually. I do watch that quite a bit as well
