Need Some Tips Repairing Donkey Kong Video 4 Board Set Repair Broken Legs Socket Chip
I have a 4 board dk set and its been having video issues.
I traced it to this small video chip which has some broken legs. I read about soldering and repairing legs on it with extra legs on spare or bad components. The chip was pretty rough when I pulled it out.
What size solder is used with a repair as small as this? also what size solder iron? I have a 30w cheapo one that seems to repeal the solder I have for it so I dont know how much help that will be. I have done some soldering before but was curious what other spare metal parts could be used to repair it since I dont have many extra socket chips laying around. also if there was a different repair all together I might try? the problem seems to be strictly this socket chip so I didnt want to do anything with the board. also this chip is extremely small so I did want to mention it.
Has anyone found a simpler solution in fixing legs as small as these? they seem to be smaller then most and Id really like to get this back up and running soon.
thanks for any help in advance
