    Quoted from Homepin:

    These really should only be worked on by experienced techs with the correct tools.

    Agreed! Here is my setup, IMO hard to beat the PACE MBT-250 solder/desolder station. Although, I do most soldering with the Metcal SP200. Using the right tip/temp for the various solder points is also critical.

    Quoted from ChrisHibler:

    Man, doing an ASIC socket with a pult? You da boss!

    hmmm....I'm confused are you saying that using a de-soldering station isn't the way to go when replacing the ASIC socket? Hot air station?

    Quoted from Frax:

    Last big repair I did was replacing the ASIC socket on a WPC board, that was fun. I've never owned a desoldering gun at all, never used braid. Just me and my trusty almost-6-year-old soldapullt...

    opps....Sorry, totally missed that post. Yea that is just crazy, I wouldn't have even tired. Hats off to you Frax
