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
