Anyone want to try these. I'm blind so I can't see to pull them. I know I can't solder one back it. Trust me I tried. Didn't happen. LOL

SMD puller and flux to melt the solder and give you a clean start.

Here is their website:

I looked at their stuff and it probably would work for one of the 160-pin chips. I did enjoy the videos on their site, though.

Thanks for the offer Larry, maybe someone can use it.

We pros use hot air and board preheaters for the large chips.

We "slackers" take one look at the chip and all of it's 100's of leads, then say "naaaaaaah".. lol.

I hated troubleshooting CCA's with those damn things on 'em back in the Nav, because 9 times outta 10 the "bravo" (aka solder) techs didn't do a very good job yet of replacing them. I imagine they got better at it by now tho...

Good catch Joe. I was trying to read his writing, not an easy thing to do.

Quick off topic post>>>>>>

Joe, the lockwasher that fits the hardware for your board is Mouser P/N 534-4693. I know you specify a toothed washer but this one works and I could not find a #4 toothed washer.

 

[Gepetto]

Yes no problem on that lockwasher at all Mark. I get my small hardware from Micro Fasteners in Lebanon NJ.

Good selection of small hardware and good pricing and quality

Compared to my handwriting after a couple of coffees in the morning, Lee's HW is like the Rhinehart method
