Working procedure
1. Desoldering a flex foil
Release of flex foil can be done by desoldering with the Metcal solder iron
with the same tip as it is used for soldering of the flex foil. The solder tip can
glide forwards between the flex and pads after approximately 3-5 seconds
without pressure. The use of solder iron is recommended instead of hot air.

2. Prepare the PWB and a new flex foil
- Clean the contacts on the PWB with the Metcal-Tip and put some flux on
the contacts
- Bend the flex foil a little bit at the perforation. Don't touch the contacts
with your fingers! Now it's easier to hold the flex foil in the right position
