byebye,

Great video, thanks for taking the time to share your expertise. I have just removed my 3004 fets in preperation for upgrading to 3010s. You talk about lifting the pads. What does that mean? Are you referring to the shiny elongated rectangles that the fet legs solder to? How can I tell if they are "lifted" and what happens if they are? Not sure if I have created a problem as a couple of the rectangles had no solder on them after fet
removal. I added some and they now look like the rest. Wondering?????

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Okay when removing the FET you have to make sure that all the feet are heated and the FET slides off. If you put too much pressure on it or 'pry' at the FET you could rip the small connection on the board out. Sometimes when you remove the FET you'll see, on those rectangles you described, white pads. What has happened is it needs solder. I usually touch up the pad to make sure there isn't anywhite spots and so it will make a good connection.

I like to touch up the pads with a little solder before adding new FETs.

Thanks meng! I haven't watched it in a while but I need to make a newer one that doesn't have that medevil iron lol!

I'm glad that it's enough for peeps to give it a try themselves.

I did my second fet job last night and it works ! My first one was last year without reading or doing any research and burnt my board . Now with my new ASF I made sure I do everything right. So I read and watch videos . I tested with with my ohm meter and run power to it. Everything is working. We'll see how it is at the track later on today.

Thanks for the vid! After 3 years it's still helpful to newbies .

Cool!!! It really is just a reference. Once you do a few FET jobs you start to get more comfortable and find better techniques.
