I was trying to replace the controller port, but some traces broke. Anyone have a pinout on this? https://imgur.com/a/KBzEB https://imgur.com/a/M9Gvy
What pinout do you need? You can see exactly where the broken trace goes. You ripped it up leaving a chasm in the coating that leads directly between two points.
Look. Guy. Not to be mean, but youve destroyed three different items now. Its clear that you do not yet have enough skill to take on these kinds of projects. Put these down, sell them to some one here that could repair them, and concentrate on practicing on smaller, less valuable things.
It's his stuff, he can do whatever he wants with it, but I do kind of agree a little bit. @retronerd perhaps you could try working on a console that you can find cheaply in Sweden? Something that is broken, doesn't really matter a whole lot, and that you can work on until you figure out the best way for you to fix it. For example, I know that in Japan, Super Famicoms are really cheap so that's why I learnt on them first. Replacing fuses, capacitors, learning how to test things with a multimeter, etc.
BTW: My soldering iron is crap only High or no heat attall, have ordered a better one. Im very confident in my skills.
This is high level soldering dude. I can barely do a third party gamecube controller joystick box replacement and that was just for laughs and it had dead spots I would say give something like that to a professional it's pretty gummed up.
Perhaps the Black Friday Bunny will bring you a new tool: https://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fr300.html
We are trying to save your consoles from your low level soldering skills But if you care to damage your consoles even more be my guest. Nobody here is forcing you to do anything you don't want to and you can do anything you want with those consoles. If you feel you are up to the job then do it. However it is at your own risk.
Glad you're getting a new iron. Getting a new soldering iron is probably one of the best investments I ever made. My first one was a "decent" variable temp one that was like $40, which I thought was great at the time. But it took forever to heat up and I always felt that my solder joints never seemed that great. Then I upgraded to my current soldering iron which is a used Metcal unit that I bought a new handle for and holy **** it's so much better. But it also cost me like $250 and I got a *cheap* old used one. The reason it's so good is because it automatically adjusts the temperature to get just hot enough to melt the solder, but no hotter. Other brands have the feature as well, I think Metcal calls it "Smartheat" or something. It uses the curie-effect in order to do this, which you can look up if you're interested in the physics behind it.
Maybe he can learn from his mistakes later on. Like me, I had the right tools but no skills. Killed a Sega Saturn and with my skills these days I repaired it from certain noob doom. But when I killed the Saturn I knew I had work to do and not wreck another console. But definitely don't try to desolder sockets without at least sacrificing some thrift store radios or old walkmans and learning a non destructive technique.
