charcoaldabs2 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Doing basic beginners kit, going great, lots of fun. Beginner's kit, beginner's mistakes.I put in a 16 pin IC "Chip" i guesss, is it a chip? upside down. Is this a problem? It is notched to go a certain way, but all I see are metal points. Damn, I see integrated circuit, so it's all messed up. So... I can't get the solder braid working to take off all my solder, and I don't have a solder pump, and I really wanna finish this. Can I leave it? I did discover that wrenching at it with pliers won't get it out. Dios Mio! Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charcoaldabs2 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 1000 Watt Heat gun, on high mode. IC fell out! I finished the kit. Great fun. I'm going to do another tonight. I'll try and find more over the weekend. Where do they retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prateeksikka Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 ill definitely share an experience here .i tried pulling out an IC once from my board by heating the chip till it melts .i discovered it may affect the neighbouring devices as they may get overheated .if u hv not put the neighbouring chips ,perhaps u can melt the plastic using solder iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo2520 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hello charcoaldabs2 Sounds like you did good with the heat gun. My first time I tried to recyle parts from printer boards I tried using a propaine torch. Not a good idea, by the time I got done there wasn't much to do but get a garbage bag out. Now I use a soldering iron with a sucker pump on it, Got that at radio shack, works great on ic's and only cost about 15 bucks. Spring loaded solder suckers work but not very fast. have fun gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
