      I think many people heard about the soldering in their workplace when the hardware is having problem in it.
      Anyone tried to solder the board?
      I am interested to solder because i have given hardware level jobs in my office.
      Now I am handling issues with the Laptops.
      I don't have permission to use the soldering equipment inside the office but now i am interested to learn the soldering level things.
      Can anyone provide links to learn regarding that?

        That would be expected. Realistically you should never solder business IT gear.

          I would never do this. For one thing, this is not an IT task in any way. But that it is something else isn't the issue. Computers are not meant to be modified in this way or repaired in this way. No business class devices are meant to be soldered outside of the factory.

            I learned to solder when I was a kid, my dad was an electrical engineer, so soldering electrical components to build stuff at home was just a fun thing that we did regularly. And he would fix stuff around the farm, as well.

            Any use of soldering should only be on equipment you don't care about and treated as a hobby. It's not a business class process, even by the bench department. Just bear that in mind.

                I am an electronic engineer but don't even got any experience in soldering in my college days as well as in my work time.
                Soldering is not the part of IT job,I accept but the learning does not have end in anytime

                  Do you have soldering equipment at home? You can really just start practising. There is not a lot to learn.

                  How did they not teach soldering in an EE program? Even in non-electrical engineering I had to learn soldering, brazing and welding as just entry level basics.

                    What did they do instead of soldering for your EE classes? How were you doing your electrical assemblies without it?

                        Soldering isn't really something you set out to learn. Really it's about wanting to build electrical components that requires it. What's your end goal?

                          How did you do the electrical parts of the electrical degree, though? Just tape everything together?

                            Doing an Anduino project might be a good place to give yourself a reason to be soldering stuff.

                              I saw some circuits in Internet .So I trying to build that circuit soon.I have done Electronic Engineering where in our college syllabus the soldering practical or theory not even seen.

                                But what did they do instead? How were you building circuits without it? There are other ways, but so impractical for learning.

                                  We used some small bread boards for the electronic connections but no other extra things

                                    Good Suggestion to get Soldering Kit for Beginner,I am interested to order Kit for learning.
                                    What should I see for buying the Soldering Kit?

                                      That I'm not sure, I'm no expert. A good iron and vacuum bulb are important. It doesn't take much to solder.

                                        As @scottalanmiller said, I would not attempt this. Most components are surface mounted and are nearly impossible to solder by hand. They are done mechanically at a factory.

                                          Unless doing it at home for fun. If as a hobby, go crazy. Lots of great home projects can be done this way. My dad, for example, likes to build his own sensor systems off of Raspberry Pi (which start at $5.)

                                            You'd want a soldering station that can hold the iron in a set position as you work.

                                            Otherwise, before long you'd probably end up wishing you had a third hand, trying to hold the iron and the pieces you're soldering in place.
