Desoldering

Post by The Earl of Sandwich »

Which desoldering tools work the best for you guys? I'm getting ready to remove the famicom cartridge slot on my noac, and it looks like it's going to be a pretty big task

I use a desoldering iron most of the time, and desoldering braid for the small stuff my iron can't get. For the slot, I would say a desoldering iron would be faster. Just don't leave it on for more than 2-3 seconds.

No no, desoldering iron is the fastest. I removed my N64 exp slot in 2 minutes (50 pins) with one of those babes.
