ParticipantYes, tin the wire first.
The problem with applying heat to the opposite side of the wire that the solder is on, is heat transfer. You will have a very tiny point contact between the iron and the wire to heat the wire. The result is a lot of heat travels up the wire, damaging insulation etc upwire before the joint location ever gets hot enough.
I found the most effect way is to make sure the contact is clean and rosin fluxed and use a solder ball on the end of the iron (make sure the iron tip is clean too and maintain the tip in a ‘tinned’ state. The ball ensures maximum heat transfer when it makes contact with the wire. This allows you to ramp the temp of the joint up rapidly and complete the job before the heat travels up the wires and does damage further up. Also use a good iron like Metcal if you have one.
On that ribbon cable, your biggest problem is not going to be soldering the new on on.. it will be removing the old. This is generally done with a very specialized hot air gun (don’t try it with your run of the mill hot air gun).
Have we really gotten to the point of a disposable society in which you chuck out your electronics after 1 year or use or less because the cost of labor is too high to repair?
Yes.. need you ask. These days, if a seal on a rack and pinion steering rack goes bad, you replace the whole rack. If a distributor gear gets a little worn, you replace the entire distributor (newest cars don’t have distributors though)
Some older timers who use to build Heathkit TV’s, Ham Radio’s etc could solder it for you.
Nope.. don’t. The joints are much finer than these people have ever done. You want one of the assemblers that works currently at companies like Sony, Qualcomm, Cubic. They work with surface mount, the problem is that they don’t own their own tools and the tools are specialized.

ParticipantActually S896 is very bearish. Banks will now take into account that they may have to eat additional losses on what is a securitized loan. Their response will be to increase interest rates on all of these loans and treat them more like seconds than fully securitized. (risk adjustment to the interest rate)
It is short time bullish because the houses that are near NOD or at NOD will never make it to the market, drying up some of the potential inventory, but long term it may be a total disaster. I estimate that the amount it will cost in terms of interest is an additional 1% to 2% on the interest rate.

ParticipantOk.. let me see here.
The banks are bad when they have credit standards that are too loose.. loaning to people that don’t have a reasonable chance of paying off the loan.
and banks are bad when they then decide to tighten credit standards.. and not loan to people who don’t have a reasonable chance of paying off the loan.
My suggestion: Make up your mind!!!

ParticipantBrad Ramos is barking up a dangerous tree that can turn around and wipe out his towns budget. He is trying to pierce the corporate veil, but the mechanism being used does not do it correctly. Ramos can hold the banks, as a legal entity, responsible for the upkeep. He can fine them too.. and then take possession of the property in question due to unpaid fines. What he can’t do is arrest the CEO or bank officers. They don’t own the property. The legal entity, the bank, does.
If he does, he will be hit with false arrest charges, abuse of authority charges and then hit for damages as well as effective lost wages of that individual. The sheriff will lose in court… very quickly and very badly.
The correct way is to fine the property and then when fines are sufficiently large, take possession of the property.
There is a nasty side effect on all of this to the individual home owner. This will be an army of people who check that you are properly keeping a property to their standards, and you could be fined and possibly your property taken. Pretty nasty extension of a HOA, but in this case the city is acting as an HOW but with no upkeep responsibilities on their side.
