Hi Jordan,
Thanks a lot for the manual, will peruse.
Thanks Bruce, tend to feel if it's bigger than an eight pin SMD, and probably BGA, might well pass, as only have a paint stripper device that's great for heat shrink stuff, but wicked with chips.
As a thought, there's a system where one floods the area with 'Woods metal' and the offending chip can be slid off - sideways.
Gather not too successful with BGA arrays where an underside cooker seems the biz to free the contacts, and probably kills other local components.
As you suspect, guess the skip - Thanks again - Chris
PS - Other folks suggest pin snipping, and chiselling the chip off the board, as it's well stuck.
Gather ChasHyde stocks it - must go have a look at the price, and then prob not bother, as local folks baulk at anything over 20 quid - job done.
