Great job guys, what you have done with NISTune is nothing short of amazing. :) Out of curiosity, what temperature are you setting your soldering/desoldering iron? And if possible the brand of the gear you are using, you make it seem so easy. ;)
Thanks man. I tend to stick around the 375 - 400C mark for temperatures. I use only Hakko gear. I've used many different brands over the years and Hakko rules supreme in my workshop. Particularly the quality of their tips. They must use a very special plating process cos the tips just last and last. It is easy when you do it right. Cleaning the coating off properly makes a big difference. And preheating the area with a heat gun also helps a lot if your ambient temperature is low. It's winter here at present and pre-heating for only 5 or 6 seconds helps a lot. It also melts any coating that's under the chip. If your chip still seems stuck tight after de-soldering try hitting it with the heat gun again.
I have a question. If an ecu is fried can you re install the nistune into a new ecu and does it have to be re tuned? Is the tune stored in the nistune?
Where abouts in australia are you located? Are you in Melbourne? Are you still doing this for work? I would love to hire your services to fit my nistune in my ecu
I just use acetone to dissolve the coating. Acrylic paint thinner will also do it. Work it around with a brush and then mop up with plain old absorbent kitchen paper. The pen is a "flux pen" to aid heat transfer. It's just plain old rosin type soldering flux that you can get at any electronics store. www.lifewire.com/types-of-solder-flux-818849
What a hero, you saved me about £40 by doing this myself. Thanks for uploading it . Great guide 👌
You’re the man! Thank you so much for the video, the info and help. Cheers from FL!!
This is probably the best display I have ever seen on desoldering and soldering .
Thanks Tobey - it must be all the practice I get!
This guy is like the Bob Ross of electronics!! Great video
I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me!
I appreciate the content you produce
Thanks mate awesome tutorial you just taught me so much soldering knowledge! :o
Nice video. I hope i do this soon to my car.

You make it look so easy a caveman could do it.
Wow!. Amazing. Thank you bro.
Great Video! Thanks!
Thumbs up

As long as the board isn't toast as well then yes, you can just put it in another ECU and drive on. Tune is on the board.
Nice!
is that nigel petrie doing these boards? sounds exactly like him

Hi, What type of product you use with pen to dissolve the varnish and clean with paper? Do you have a link?
