| How to re-solder SMT nut / stand-off to motherboard PCB |
| (1/1) |
| eeprom1:
My computer motherboard has M.2 stand-offs soldered into its PCB. When over tightened one of screws, the stand-off broke off. Good news is that it broke from the soldered joint; the motherboard is fine. Bad news is that this is a very compact crowded computer motherboard. I appreciate recommendations on how to solder the SMT nut back without damaging the board or components. I have access to professional grade soldering station and an pro analog heat gun with 5 mm nozzle. I circled around the nut and its place on PCB in the photo attached. One idea I have was to preheat the nut to reduce the soldering time. |

Epoxy it in place. You will get much better mechanical strength. Use the original screw to align everything |
