@SophieRose What's your method for this, are you using a hot air station? Looks like you did a very clean removal.
Thanks, yeah hot air station to remove with plenty of flux and then I'll repair the tracks with mod wire when required and I'll solder the ICs back on with a fine soldering iron and again loads of flux and real solder Here's the mess I made LOL@SophieRose What's your method for this, are you using a hot air station? Looks like you did a very clean removal.
I just use a small nozzle 2.5-3mm maybe in diameter and work around the pins of the ICs keeping it moving at all times (with a tonne of gel flux) whilst gently applying lifting pressure with some fine tweezers.Do you have the exact size nozzles? I keep getting conflicting information on whether you really need it to be the size or if you can fudge a little.
Thats brilliant.. thanks for sharing ☺Upgrading the Radius Rocket 25i

Omg yeah the IIfx.. nightmare the board was bombed and too badly corroded, ive sourced another less badly damaged board but im in need of some 64pin simm sockets.. otherwise im gonna have to cut up some 72pin ones and make em fit.A three-year hiatus! How’d that IIfx turn out?
Yah some sort of compact mac, not had one for a for years, just fancied another.That’s unfortunate. I’m sure someone will have them around here. Now you are looking for an SE?
Regular SE's are easy to be found, have a bunch of them!Yah some sort of compact mac, not had one for a for years, just fancied another.
Sure, right up the moment they explode!Even with maxcells, SEs do well - took a 32 year old battery out of one and it was still holding a charge. Actually like 3.0V!
To clarify, I meant battery bombs and was just calling all battery meltdowns a maxcell. Mine had Vartas.Sure, right up the moment they explode!
Most my SE's came with Varta's, also still holding a charge!
Below what one of those Maxwell batteries did to the logic board of one of my SE/30
