I am trying to replace the dc jack on my Gateway laptop to save the motherboard. I am new to soldering but have practiced on an old board and feel confident after much practice. My problem is that the solder is not melting. I can't get the old dc jack off. It's not shiny like the other solder. I don't know what it is. I have tried 2 different irons, wick, vacuum, everything. I think I'm doing everything right but nothing is working. Anyone have any ideas? [/quote]    Insert an Image File (GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, ZIP, PNG) Check here to include your profile signature.
