Chosen Solution
I have a Nintendo switch that has a broken port I bought the tools and equipment for it and have set the temperature on my hot air rework station set to 350c but no luck and I even tried putting flux but still nothing, I don’t know if I am giving it enough heat or I am missing something, I am a newbie when it comes to this stuff, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
The Type-C port requires a lot of heat to remove. Have you added leaded solder on the charging port pins to lower the melting point of the solder? Leaded solder has a lower melting point compared to non-leaded solder which will be what the components on the logic board are soldered with. Check out this video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfx3ShJC… A board preheater (This helps a lot) is used along with a soldering iron and a hot air gun at the same time to remove the type-C port.
