ID Board

A third reason for using ID lock boards is for training purposes. Because these boards are in perfect, fully working condition, we can test our skills on them. If you can desolder and reinstall every IC or component on a motherboard without causing any problems, then your skills are qualified. Of course, you don’t need to work on every IC on every single model, but there are some common ICs that frequently have issues and need replacement. The skill required to do this needs to be precise and well-trained; otherwise, you will create even bigger problems. Skill practice is very important.

This is why I need to remind you: no matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, if you don’t have the skills to carry out the job, it’s useless. You cannot consider yourself a technician. Let’s say you have very good skills—even without deep knowledge of theories or diagnostic skills, you can perform transplants. This alone can solve 100% of the problems caused by the motherboard.

That’s why in my live training class (not online), 99% of the time is dedicated to skills training. I’ll teach you every technique for perfect soldering without affecting the motherboard or creating other problems. I will tailor the skill training for each student, addressing their specific issues and giving them specific tasks to ensure they can do the job.
