How is the best way to do this? my US championship v'ball game has no sound coming out of it. Nothing going on when I touch the amp on pin one so I'm pretty sure that it is dead.
I have replacements bought and I am looking at the board which is being used as the heat sink.
Should I just cut the pins leaving the old dead amp in place and mount the new one with a heat sink attached perpendicular to the board? Or should I attempt to pull the whole damn amp off with just my soldering iron and perhaps a heat gun.
I'm not a big fan of the heat gun method just so you know.
I just don't think I have the "fire" power (pun intended) to pull this amp ground plate off the board without destroying it.
