If you are going to save the part, just clip the leads and unsolder the
part one lead at a time.

Thanks Stan. Let me clarify a couple points.

Re: Newly assembled QMX, SWR=1.5 with dummy load
If you are worried about series inductance of resistors, best to build a 50 ohm dummy load
of all parallel resistors.? ?Not a series combination of two sets of two 50 ohm resistors in

Re: QMX+ shutdown problem

This might need clarification for some:
Lifting one end of a resistor or cap or diode can rip the opposite pad off the board.
That will ruin your day.
Usually easy enough to repair by running a wire

Re: QMX only hearing static
I have to correct. Checking my repair records I found one case with a broken IC403, not clear why broken.

Donald, you are right. It#s good to tell this.
I'm doing this only for some SMT packages e.g. small diodes (SOD323), small transistors (SOT23) and some tantalum capacitors (yellow). All of these have

Re: Newly assembled QMX, SWR=1.5 with dummy load
Adding Chris's BAT41 and 0.1uF cap to read the peak voltage with a DVM is a good idea, will work great for a QMX.
Han's 20W dummy load does the same, but uses a 1n4004 diode, good for 400 Volts,

Re: QMX: C107 burned
Daniel,
Without the SMPS boards, I measure a resistance of only 250 ohms on the mainboard between PWR_HOLD and GND. PWR_HOLD is connected only to pin 53 of the processor. I therefore conclude that

Re: QMX: C107 burned
Joerg,
No, that doesn't sound good, but as long as the main processor is good, it's worth fixing. If you can identify the failures. It looks as if the failure on the 5V PS took out the 3.3 V supply
