What began as simple repairs evolved into a genuine fascination with electronics, pushing me to tackle increasingly complex fixes and understand not just how to solder and repair things, but how they actually work on the lowest level.

pro tips
- rows of standing capacitors: invert per row to avoid having leads touch each other
- flat mounting: solder 1 pin, then hold flush. Push and reheat to make sure component is flat
- when desoldering with wick, use higher temperatures (e.g. 400°)
- don’t grab components with tweezers too deep, you risk having your tweezer leads make contact with the board instead of the component
