Need a pair of hands near Orlando / Winter Park (FL)

[Listas de Correo-2]

Hi,
   A friend of mine, needs a pair of hands to help him out repairing some
devices. This devices have one QSOP MAX1672 (16 pin SMD) that were blown
because it was not soldered properly.

        Since I'm in Argentina and I can't go to Florida, we are looking for
someone over there to help us out. He will be paid, off course.

        The job is rather simple. It consists of removing the current chip
and soldering the new one in place. A 20mm wire should be soldered to one of
its pins, to provide a bigger ground path, since the original trace in the
board is not thick enough. It took me 5 to 7 minutes to do all that and
verify that it was working (place a 9V battery and press ON).

        It would be appreciated that you have experience re-working SMT
boards and a solder station to work with.

        Anyone who wants the job, please send me a personal email to the
address below. There are 23 units to repair.

Thanks

Saludos,

Around here (eastern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire area) there are a
surprisingly large number of small to medium contract manufacturers that are
happy to do small volume hand rework like that.  There probably are a bunch
in the Orlando FL area too.

Tell your friend to ask around with people that are in the electronics
manufacturing business.  He'll probably be surprised how many companies
there are right under his nose.  Unfortunately these outfits are not easy to
find thru the normal means like a Google search.  All the ones I know in my
area I've bumped into by word of mouth.

If he's willing to ship out all the boards to get them reworked, I can
recommend a few places up here.  However, it would be a good idea for him to
get acquainted with the small contract manufacturers in his area anyway.

Thanks Olin. It would be difficult for my friend (being the way he is) to
find such contract manufacturers in his area. He's not in the electronic
bussines nor near it. That is why I was asking around in the piclist.

In case no one appears, I might ask you for a reliable contact and he'll
ship the units no MA.

Worst case you can probably have your friend find a shop that does
cellphone repairs/modifications?

Apparently there will be many experts in the area soon:

The 4th International Brazing & Soldering Conference (IBSC) will take
place at Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Florida, USA
between April 26 -29, 2009.
