Re: Ethernet Query
FVM, I have got a network adapter of some xyz company and I can see a transformer IC on it. I have even tried to de sold it. But the problem is, I wasnt able to completely clean soldered joints due to vey fine soldering (probably done by wave soldering method). Secondly, I am afraid if heat the joint for a prolonged period, then the IC may get fried.
Any tips on this issue??
Thirdly, I can get my hands on quiet a few LAN cards, but most of them have surface mount components. Can you also please guide me, how to take those components off and use them as I am student and have used only DIP packaged components.
