Subject: Desoldering tips on ICs - The Big Oops

From: bruce@...
Date: 2001-04-23

Well, I need some advice. First, let me give some. Never let your
dear wife distract you while building something complicated.

That being said. In my current build project, MOTM 440 Filter, I have
managed to get all of the 2220 and 2210 IC's backwards.

I have managed to get one of them unsoldered after about an hours
worth of work. I have a good solder sucker, but it seems minute
amounts of solder are still hanging around causing the chip to adhere
to the board.

Anyone have and good suggestions on how to get the little buggers off?

Thanks

Bruce
