My first attempt at desoldering a BGA chip and it worked really well. Chip cleaned up nicely as well.
Disclaimer: I don't plan on using this chip or board again. So, I don't need it to work at the end.

I tried desoldering using my Hakko FR-300, but the tight holes made it a difficult process, and I destroyed a (nonessential) pad even after reflowing it. After doing some research, I found that adding low-temperature solder (here, ChipQuik SMDLTLFP, melting point 138C/281F) did the trick. I was able to set the desoldering gun at its lowest setting, and ended up with clean holes.
Occasionally I'd have to go onto the component side of the board and reflow one of the power pins again, but in the end it was pretty smooth. Wiggle the pins a bit to unstick them, and they come out with only a little persuasion.

Finally got a Hakko FR301; Japanese version that I am going to convert to the US version cheaply. VERY excited to use this.

New video! The pump in my ZD-915 desoldering station stopped working! Let's investigate and try to fix it!

This seems like an awful lot of work just to upgrade an old #XBox, but the process of #desoldering an old #CPU and #resoldering is fascinating!
It's like watching Bob Ross paint, he makes it look so easy!

.. so I was getting irritated that I'm no good at #desoldering large circuit board components, and one thing lead to another, and now I'm the happy owner of a relatively cheap #Chinese #WEP948 de-soldering station. To my surprise, it's not complete crap - it's actually pretty decent. Let the #vintagecomputing repairs begin! 🙂

After I have seen the gear of @svenpetersen191, I decided to up my desoldering game and got me this desoldering gun. The SS-331H is basically the same as the ZD-915. It's a fairly cheap Chinese product. But I noticed a lot of other people working on vintage gear use it.
So far I've used a suction pump, solder wick and a heat gun, which got me through. The heat gun works well for SMD stuff. But it's a beast and am always scared of using it on old hardware. #RetroComputing #Electronics #Soldering #Desoldering

I went to get the beast. A #Desoldering gun for undoing my botched hand soldered smd components.
