Sorry, I meant flux - wrote the post in a hurry. I have to get super thin solder wire and I have to ask our local retailer about low temp solder also.by iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
Thanks for the elaborate post. I used "amtech" solder, a Chinese knock off that works quite well. I used too much hot air flow, solder ok pcb did not even try to melt under 400C temperature, that sounds cracy high to me. IC:s have super low time that they survive under that temp I think. I have a spare 2700MT, I have to fix the pads first when I have the time... And good mentalby iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
bit of an update - my reflow station and spare IC :s came. I have to say that it is really darn hard to try to replace the ic:s. I managed to pull off 2(!) of the pcb connecting terminals when removing the old ic, used too much power and practiced too little before attempting that... Is there any way to replace the leads where IC:s sit on? I am starting to think this is a dead pcb, unless thby iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
I am still waiting for the replacement ic to arrive and also waiting for the reflow station :)by iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
The main pcb is mounted under the lcd screen protective thin transparent plastic, with push-through pins, also secured to place with an injection molded part. I can take photos of that when it is back in its place.by iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet

uh-kay, i managed to make time this morning(GMT+2) and take some photos on oneplus 8t.. https://imgur.com/a/prwG2xN The photos are blurry on the edges, probably the camera is optimized for wide angle photos. I can take better shots per request if someone wants. Here is a picture i received from the official MM importer, saying that the spare parts they can provide for executive are of newerby iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
I would be more than delighted to take photos! I have to take it apart, let's see if I can make up time for it today (otherwise I will forget to do that)by iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
Thank you for fast response! I have already ordered the LM-2700 in MT packaging, it is arriving from China "sometime" this autumn probably. Also ordered a 858D hot air station as this is not the first rodeo for me, when I would needed such thing. By no means I have same level of expertise that people here have, but it seems I predicted the same point of failure!by iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
Hi. I have a 2011 model of Mosquito Magnet executive. Device is powered with a 4.8V NiMh cell (that is brand new, confirmed working) for initial startup, and a thermoelectric module(peltier?) that generates current after device has reached working temperature. Unit has following order from start to "running" status: -12V 0.4A (PWM controlled 3-lead (white,red,black)) 120mm fan starby iikkakonola - Mosquito Magnet
