man your idea of soldering and mine are different. Like I said it may just be the picture but look at in particular the bottom right corner of the direct solder on the aladdin to LPC, it looks way dry jointed. Don't say you cannot also see all the small solder splashes all over the LPC rebuild. The length of exposed condutor on the wires laid accross other print runs.? Come On!! Solder can be bad when it looks good but not the other way round, I cannot believe you think that looks fine. Like I said may be the flash in the picture I don't know for sure but I would tidy it a bit. |
I didn't look at the actual soldering of the Aladdin, just the bottom LPC. But yes, I agree, the Aladdin could be soldered better.
I believe those "splashes all over the LPC rebuild" is the FLUX from the rosin core solder, not actually solder itself. Cameras pick that up well.
As far as the length of the exposed wire: as long as it's not touching any other points (which is hard to tell by pictures taken straight on), it's irrelevant.
I'm not saying it's a perfect solder job, I am just saying I've seen much worse function before and much better not function. As long as no points are crossing on the LPC rebuild and there are no dry joints, it do not believe his issue to lie within that particular area of soldering. But like you said, the Quicksolder job isn't very clean...
