Desolder an SMD

I've added 2 new Videos to show how simple desoldering an SMD from a XBox360 Motherboard is. Course you can use this method on every Board.

 

Reballing Profile Tool

I used a normal Stop Watch to do reflowing/reballing and found it very hard to use, So I decided to write a little tool with C# to manage the Reballing and Reflowing profiles.
this tool, has a section to define your profiles which you can freely select them from main window.
after selecting a Profile and clicking on Start button, a timer will start and shows the specifications defined for that Step.
It will automatically jump to next step if you didn't select the "Pause" in your profile definition.
