I've got an LCD monitor that I need to recap and I just can't fully desolder the existing ones.
I have my iron at 750 and while I can get most of it off, there's a small amount still flush with the pcb hole that just won't heat up enough. I tried reflowing them, but with only traditional lead solder it doesn't help. I just end up removing the fresh solder and I'm back where I started.
I even tried using my Hakko 808 gun and it's not really helping.
There's a fairly small heat sink on one of the chips that might be absorbing some of the heat, but that thing looks tough to remove and honestly I don't think it's the cause of my misery.
