Anybody any exp with soldering on pcb's?? I'm trying to remove a bios chip sckt (prcticing on an old blown up mobo first!!). I was advised to get a 35watt iron but have borrowed a 25 so this may be prob. But I try to get solder off bottom of mobo where the pins on the chip comes thru from top and have bought this spring loaded suction tool to remove molten solder. I have been at it for an hour or more and cant remove enuf of the solder to get the chips mounting out. I am completly new to this and would welcom any advice.
I have seen some sort of stuff that absorbs solder but cannot get it in the tiny **** hole of a town I live/survive in without ordering it. Anyway will this work better?
