Those that do #soldering, do you know what these connector things are called and if one was faulty how to replace it?

CONTEXT: Trying to see if I can repair Maytag oven control board WPW10340323 on the cheap.

Most soldering kits stay put. The FixHub is built to move. It’s a complete, portable soldering station made for real-world repairs: on a desk, in a field, under a car hood.

Solder anywhere. Fix everything. FixHub is back in stock and ready to ship: https://www.ifixit.com/fixhub

On the last weekend @flpvsk invited me for a #workshop in #berlin. One of the things that would not have happened without the #fediverse. <3
Thanks & a big shout out to #flpsk to make it happen! Such a pleasant atmosphere and participants.
If you're in the north of Neukölln/Weichselstraße and are interested in electronic, homemade music, FX and guitars you should not miss to drop by his little store and workshop and have a chat with Andrey.

I FINALLY set up my oxygen/propane Smith Little Torch. I need to do some fine #soldering and that's what I bought this damn thing for. I've got the tanks set up properly, turned on, and pressures set for the tip I'm using. I can't get the damn thing lit. And yes, I did RTFM.

Any #silversmith out there able to suggest what I might be doing wrong? Maybe @Silverworker?

Did some updates to my website. For example, the latest Photonotron soldering kit is now visible:

Currently working on a DIY solder fume extractor for my new @iFixit #FixHub soldering station. As a soldering novice I'm actually quite proud of what I've done so far :)

Stay tuned for another post once I've finished the project (currently still waiting on a USB-PD Trigger board tho so I can try powering everything directly from the FixHub's second USB-C port)...

[Project inspired by YouTuber "DIY Perks"]

Finally got a Hakko FR301; Japanese version that I am going to convert to the US version cheaply. VERY excited to use this.

I've been struggling hard with any of the (in theory extremely basic) electronics soldering tasks I've recently attempted after decades of not doing any.
Upon researching my problems, I *am* for once going to blame my tools - seems like the tips on my soldering iron have oxidised, so solder won't flow onto them properly. Also, 25W appears to be too weak for soldering bigger wires/connectors?
Any recommendations for a good basic iron that I can actually get hold of in Europe? #soldering

New project! The Evo64 Blue Pearl, it's a modified C64, kind of a mashup of the assy 250407 and 250469 Commodore 64 motherboards with a few mods added in and options for some SMD parts. The bags in the background is roughly half of the parts, I guess. Time for a bit of zen soldering. #Commodore #c64 #retrocomputing #soldering

#electronics tooters - can you recommend a #soldering fume extractor that doesn''t cost a kidney and a half?

Meet me at the roof of Neukölln next week on Sunday 11th of May.
I am delighted to take part of the DIY KIT DAY again. This year I will play no live set, but bring noisio kits to the Klunkerkrainich which you can instantly start to solder right on the tables next to it.

If you reserve a kit in advance you will get free entry and don't have to wait in the queue >>
