Hi,
How do you desolder / remove / replace surface mount components. If you use the desoldering wick it removes most of the solder but there is still enough left to fix the component to the board.
Mechanically ripping the components off does work but also rips up someof the PCB tracks, and this does not work for larger pin count devices such as TQFP.
Any ideas?
Cheers
