    • Using the labels on the back of the PCB locate your faulty switch.

    • Begin desoldering by carefully applying the hot iron onto the two solder joints surrounding the key label.

    • Use the solder pump when the solder visibly melts. Continue this process until the switch pins are visibly unsoldered from the PCB.

    • Warning: Do Not Breathe in the soldering fumes.

    • Warning: Do Not Touch the hot tip of the soldering iron.

  12. Anne Pro 1 Mechanical Keyboard Switch Replacement, Soldering Parameters: étape 11, image 1 de 1

    • Decrease the heat on the solder station to 350℃ and allow it to cool.

    • Using a lower heat when soldering the switch back on is recommended to avoid over-soldering the switch joint.

    • Resolder the switchback onto the PCB by carefully heating the metal rings with the soldering iron, and then applying the solder wire onto the heated surface, keeping the iron in place.

    • Apply solder to the switch pin until a small mound conceals the pin, resembling the factory solder job on the board. Allow the solder to cool and solidify.

    • Try to be conservative with the amount of solder that is used. Less is more!
