Ive made a huge mistake (desoldering pi from SAIO)

Robert8492 · Post by **Robert8492** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 10:26 am

The usb pads do not get a connection, and the tester image shows everything failed but the screen, i forgot to tin the usb pads on the SAIO before i soldered everything up, is there any way i can remove the pi from the board? If there are speciality tools needed, will someone be willimg to take a lool for me?

Have you tried soldering the USB anyway? Also did you put kapton tape on the GND bits around the USB?

Tinning isn't 100% necessary it just helps.. according to my instructions the USB should have pretty much been the first thing to solder

I wouldn't try removing the Pi, it will 100% make it worse!

I can confirm that, my usb pads wouldn't connect no matter how many times I wicked and then poked through. Removing the pi can be done but if you're like me and don't have good luck you pull out two of the solder holes along with the Pi. I will say that they turned out not to be crucial pins and my second time around I just wired the usb from the AIO to the Pi, waaay easier.
