Kenwood TH D74 mod MICRO CAMERA

That was hard to watch. SMT component removal can be accomplished using the non-standard method seen here but the application of heat should be minimized or there is a high risk of circuit board delamination, which can typically cause lifted traces resulting in loss/diminished continuity as well as stressing neighboring component tolerances. I personally wouldn't modify a $600 portable without utilizing proper SMT equipment.

It is just a resistor... I would have used some wick+flux though on top of the resistor so that you don't have to go back and forth from pad to pad. I feel like using hot air for this is over kill and you would have more of a chance of messing something up if inexperienced.

This should be titled "How NOT to mod your radio!"

[@robaczek0163]

O fuck! You better weld bridges....

[@YO3HJV]

I will consider this advice for future :-)

[@rogeriooiregor1866]

Isnt it better to use a flame thrower?

[@johne3439]

😂

[@manatsu09]

Does this work even this TH-D74A, E and J? No matter what region it is?

[@YO3HJV]

I usually work with hot air but this time I was in a hurry :-) Indeed, the temperature was a bit lower than necesarry.

OMG...BUTCHER..!!!! Should not be allowed to go anywhere near electronic circuitry !!!!

[@rawlinharringtonke8tiq837]

holy hell!!!!! NO!!!!! is this Helen Keller

[@rohnkd4hct260]

very sloppy work

[@eldopa69]

Hey! Cool video! I really like the sound track. Who's music is it?

[@DTSkyCop]

What was the mission here? Why?

[@drnv150]

Pure butchery

[@leypere]

手艺真差。

[@stevenward294]

Please don't melt your radio!!!!Use a pocketknife and pry the resistor off of the board. It breaks the resistor off of the board without any heat or mess. I did it to mine. It took about 2 seconds and no soldering iron required!

[@YO3HJV]

The components are not only soldered but also glued to the board. i usually do not recommend the "brute force" because you can damage the copper and often under the components are some thin traces.

[@HappyPel]

What the hell. DO NOT DO THIS
