Magic tricks? Desolder IC's from MTX PCB?
Posted: 04 Oct 2022 10:59
Hi.
Anyone have a magic trick to desolder IC's from the MTX PCB without destory the IC ?
The problem is it seems like its soldered from both sides of the board. I have a quite good desolder station. But its limited success to use it on the MTX PCB.
I have tried different ways like:
Flux the component side and apply flux and solder to the solder side.
I tried tempertures like 370-375c at the desolder station.
It seems like the most easy way is to cut the IC and then desolder the pins one by one. Its also the way to do it when replacing 4116s at the ColecoVision.
Some youtubers uses hotair, but dont now how well it works on mtx boards.
Any magic trick?
