no worries good you got it going ! you must have caught me in one of those rare lucid moments ! incidentally its Jim, the ca bits just cause i needed the number of letters to register !

scooby-doo:
Cheers Jim...will remember for next time

Just another quick query the link you put up for lcdtvrepairs.us

Was just browsing the site and came across the desoldering techniques page
was looking at the video for the product called "ChipQuik"....have you used this/or has anybody to that matter...seen the product on Ebay and bloody hell its dam expensive for what looks like flux and a type of solder that stays molten for an extended period of time

http://www.lcdtvrepair.us/articles/SMD_Soldering--4

Is there any alternatives to this..it does look quite a good option for taking those ic's off board

Turnip:
Hi S/D,

 Interesting video - never thought of using LMP solder to avoid pre-heating. Wonder what it is - looks like plumbers hi-lead but melts at a lower temperature - Wood's metal maybe ? Found using normal solder and 'mop' tend to loose the odd track at times - Chris. 

jimca007:
Well guys to be honest I don't use any of those products I simply squirt a little liquid flux round the legs gently heat with an electric paint stripping gun set to heat 1 ( 350 c ) then when the solder starts to run simply lift off the IC with a pair of tweezers. To fit the new, reverse... a spot of liquid flux hold the chip with the tweezers heat till the solder runs bobs your uncle! Used this method very successfully for years its cheap, its effective and I get to air my spurs and 10 gallon hat while doing it !!!

Ohm Supplies:
Chipquik is great for.lifting the component & not the track, not quite as good as a heat gun in my opinion.

You solder it on & the component will lift off the track, but will stay lifted for about 15 seconds, giving you enough time to remove it then clean the board. It is a form of another metal, not sure if its woods metal, seem to think its fields metal, if you've never used it give it a go. A small pack of it would be enough to do around ( for example ) 50 sm eeproms. Ice never understood why this much is sold with only 5 wipes. That fact alone put me off buying it for years. If you break it down £ for £ its good value.

Regards
Andy
