Why I think no-clean flux is overrated after my repair disaster
I tried no-clean flux on a PS4 HDMI port fix because everyone online swears by it. A week later, the console came back with a new short from flux residue under a chip. I lost money and time redoing the whole job properly. Now I clean every board with alcohol, no matter how many people say it's fine.

Why do they even call it no-clean?

Good question! If it's called no-clean, why does everyone still scrub the boards? That residue can actually gunk things up and cause electrical issues over time. So is the name just a hopeful suggestion, or what?
