Re: Solder fume extractor carbon filter
If this is a foam based filter pack then I don't see why not, a quick search finds plenty of online guides for just such an endeavour. These usually involve fairly hot water, detergent with plenty of agitation people have been doing the same thing with hoover filter packs for a long time, however giver the activated nature of these filters I would not recommend it. Furthermore the price point is such it makes little sense, that said some of these complex filter assemblies for Pace and weller fume extractors are expensive but I don think lend themselves to washing. If you try this let us know how you get on.

Hi guys
I figured I'm gonna have to add a fume extractor to my shopping list.
To be honest I don't currently have one.
Starting as a hobbyist in the 70s, and then all through the 80s and into the 90s when I worked full time in electronics repair, in large workshops with 100+ repair engineers, I never even saw or heard of such as thing as a solder fume extractor. And that was leaded solder of course. To be honest I think you were breathing in more crap from the other engineers who smoked than you ever would from the soldering iron. In fact I kinda like the... -
Dear Forum Members,
There are very nice members in this forum who help others. I have never seen such kind experts.
But I noticed many forum members do not use any fume extractor while they do soldering. Flux is extremely dangerous if it reaches our eyes, or if we breathe it in, or if it stays on our hands.
Therefore, I ask all the forum members to follow these recommendations while soldering:
1- Use a cheap surgical mask to avoid entering the flux fume into your respiratory system.
2- Keep your eyes away from the flux fumes.
3- Wash your hands... -
I had a x1 Carbon Gen 9 come in with a no charge and no USB C power up problem (the machine would turn on with a new battery until it lost charge).
I noticed lifting the protective black membrane near the USB jacks that two little BGA chips were stuck to the adhesive and had fully released from the mother board, one of them looking fully scorched. Q261 and Q263 power MOSFETS.
I found the schematic and diagram for the board here.
