| [title] Replacing the Charging Plug 1/2 | |
| [* black] Use a soldering iron or soldering station to unsolder the broken charging plug. | |
| - | [* black] Keep in mind that the solder used by ASUS is industrial solder. Therefore, it needs a soldering iron or soldering station of at least 40 W. |
| - | [* black] In case you do not have such a powerful soldering station or soldering iron, you |

| + | [* black] Keep in mind that the solder used by ASUS is industrial solder. Therefore, it needs a soldering iron or soldering station of at least 40 W. A mini soldering iron with 15 W will not do! |
| + | [* black] In case you do not have such a powerful soldering station or soldering iron, you can use a mini drill to mechanically remove the charging plug one piece at a time. This takes time, but when done successfully, you can then unsolder what is left of the charging plug, for example the legs on the PCB. |
| + | [* black] Again: Take your time with the unsoldering process. Also, don't put too much pressure on the PCB area of the charing plug. The PCB could break at that place when pushed too much through the soldering iron or through mechanical removal of metal parts. |
| + | [* black] One important tip: Use desoldering wick while unsoldering the charging plug. The wick will soak in melted solder. After having removed the broken charging unit, use desoldering wick again to clean (and prepare) the solder joints. |
