2004 Chevy Silverado Instrument cluster repair and testing Part2

[@rapidfirer56]

funny enough I opened up mine and all of the chips had been resoldered before and they all had some oxidation on them i cleaned them all off and plugged it back in. nothing. so i kept on looking and eventually said fuck it im gonna reflow all of them anyways (first solder job ever) i figured if its broke no harm and as i reflowed the last chip it moved after the first side and i realized it wasnt seated added some solder after seating it and boom i have a working cluster again. Thanks dude really helped out with a 2:30 AM repair.

Dang, realizing a component is lost can be a nightmare. As you know with modern smd boards, these are the size of a grain of dust, impossible to find if you lose one. For guys who do these every day, they can go to another board, identify what is missing and swap parts over. Not so for us in the DIY world, even getting wiring diagrams can be problematic. I snagged a microscope, but right now it is little more than a toy to learn the techniques of microsoldering. Great job!

spelunkerd thank you! I know now what it is missing and why!! Next video will show it

Mr. Salazar, donde puedo conseguir la herramiente o aparato para probar el cluster cuando ya termine de repararlo? gracias!

What model microscope and screen are you using? I like the clarity.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

AmScope SM-4TZ-144A

On the left side of the cluster, there's two mosfets, above a transformer. I need to find the value of the silver resistor to the left of those mosfets, is there any way you can help me find that? I tried to pull one from a good cluster and it broke so now i need to find 2

What was the dash doing to make you check there and find that please? Have one the drains the battery so looking to fix one.

What is the flux that you use?

[@flatratemaster]

josh at the shop about lost it when he found a wolf spider in the locker room ;)

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Flat Rate Master are you going to TST big event March 30th?

[@flatratemaster]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics Yes I will be there,look forward to meeting you!

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Me too my friend!!

[@thomasjeffersoncry]

What type of flus do you use?

[@NewLevelAuto]

Jeff will be proud 😜

[@thomasjeffersoncry]

What temp do you have your iron at

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

I usually work at 750f so it is faster

My "sisters" are acting up as well !

[@osvaldoNTC]

What sizes and ohm are these resistors.?
