Ahlhelm N. An introduction to high reliability soldering and circuit board repair

4th edition. — CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2013. — 286 p.This book is an introduction to the techniques of electronic repair and, to a lesser extent, fabrication. Electronic repair in this text is directed only at soldering and board repair, not troubleshooting. And, as with all texts dealing with technology, the book is not inclusive of every method available to the technician. No prior knowledge of the operation of electronic components or repair expertise is needed. Basic soldering tools are used as much as possible to perform the work. Unfortunately, some specialized tools will have to be used for board repairs and the installation of surface mount components.
