Desolder Braid has failed!

Yes its true

I have found a way my desoldering braid does not work! I have been trying to remove the 12pin black ribbon connector to my pstwo dvd rom and it just doesnt remove the little bit of solder!!
Anybody have any favorite desoldering tools that works BETTER than desoldering braid?

wut would you use lemon juice for

Goes good on fish, refreshing on a hot day, good for hurting someone with deep, exposed wounds. But nothing related to taking off solder.

I must say I do enjoy lemon juice >immensely<(I checked spellin on google)

Though I am with you it sure doesnt help desoldering

I have used a solder sucker try that if you know what your doing it should work well.

Try putting more solder on the pins first, or putting a little bit of solder on the tip of the iron before you use the braid.

does anyone else here have a desoldering iron? I've got one and it works great for anything I need to desolder

...it's cheap, too...I think it was $10 at my radioshack
