[kwlug-disc] Where to fix an Acer A500 tablet?

[B. S.]

What he has been saying more than anything else is: never done it, don't know how, don't have confidence in figuring it out (in a reasonable time frame).

So, if he or someone brings a gun to a meeting, will someone who has done this help him out there, bake it on premises, or take it from his hands / home and give it a whirl?

He's indicated it's up for parts now, so if there is no success or it's made worse he's said he's ok with that and still worth the attempt.

So, will someone hands on help him out with this?

 I'm sure you could rent one cheaply
 at home hardware. I rented one a few years ago for ~$10

 A heat gun is an industrial version of a home hair-dryer.
 Except the
 intent is careful control of air currents that are hot
 enough to melt
 solder on a circuit board, or to peel old paint off of
 furniture.
 
 Expensive heat guns come with an array of
 component-shape-specific
 air-dams to make sure that components are shielded from the
 heat while
 melting the solder.
 
 Does that help?
