Hey guys, I'm trying to replace an AD561J on an Asteroids board, but can't get the old one off. I will socket the new one.
I've tried cutting the legs so I can pull then thru while de-soldering, but the legs are too small to cut without scratching the board. At least with my wire cutters. I also tried adding new solder to the old to help it flow, but till can't get it all out.
I've got most of the solder gone, but the chip still won't budge. No pads are lifted, yet, but I'm running out of ideas, and really don't want to screw this up.
Anyone got another or better idea? I'm no expert by any means.
Thanks.
