Heard a customer say 'the solder joints look fine' after bridging 4 pins on a board repair
Was helping a buddy at his shop in Austin last Tuesday when some guy dropped off a monitor with a blown cap. He tried fixing it himself and insisted the solder joints were fine. I counted 4 bridged pins on the main chip. People really need to invest in a $15 magnifying lamp before they fry a whole board. Anyone else see a ton of these half-assed DIY jobs rolling in?

Read a post about a guy who used a clothes iron to reflow a motherboard.
