i do me7 emission deletes and immo2/3 deletes.
if you work on electronics I would invest in some better equipment.. because I wouldn't want to send cluster to you after seeing this video.. I would expect this from Noob not from someone like you said work all day on bga stuff.

Seriously, who cares about you're comments on the OP's repair work procedure?? If he does it this way and it works fine, so be it. I've seen plenty of electronics worked on all day on a table without grounding and it won't short out anything. It's all about the work environment conditions and some have no static electricity around. In a humid climate, you could roll the electronics on a carpet and not get any static what so ever. Seems like your badgering the OP for your own benefit. What business are you running that you're trying to promote?!?!?!

he says you did invest in a bonding machine. but he hasnt installed one of your panels yet. i order oem panels from him if someone requests oem over the aftermarket panels.

Promoting, I don't promote my business. do you see me advertising here on this side showing photos of my business and me doing repair ? I am just concern about the quality of work that is showed here..is poor..

Lets not get too rash here; its a good informative post by the OP that I've seen before and felt the vid could use a little instructive verbal audio.

I noticed the same post on QW and the members there were not as snarky as here?
The part he is showing is the big question part of the whole process and I can say that's a plus to share.

So for what its worth, Thanks man!

So i'll ask again, as a guy with two MIT engineering degrees, but no experience with SMDs, can you elaborate please? Maybe i'll learn something. All i hear now is "this sux".
