Greetings members,
I'm going to be replacing some capacitors for an LCD monitor (following this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8844), and I wanted to see what suggestions there are for soldering irons.
I have two pen type soldering irons. One is rated at 15W, and the other is 35W. I've been using the 35W over the years, but it's been years since electronic classes, and I can't remember at what point to use the lower wattage one.
The pcb doesn't have any (sensitive?) ICs on them. The solder joints are good size, and the traces don't look flimsy.
Anyways, looking for suggestions or confirmation that the 35W iron will be ok.
