So I'm gonna attempt my first board repair today . I have a DK Jr that had a sound glitch where the background music played constantly and now I'm getting no sound at all from the board. So I picked up these chips , DAC08 , LM324 and 74LS174 .
So for removing chips I clip the leg at the top closes to the chip then heat the leg to loosen the solder and pull the leg out ? Don't heat the board cause I can easily burn a trace ?
Is this the right way ? Any other tips so I don't screw things up and also on soldering in the new chips ?
