decided to give it ago, all is going well so far, except I'm seriously struggling to remove solder from some of the pins of the components, I have discovered that more often than not these pins are soldered to the ground. It seems they just soak up the heat of my 450 degree C iron and not melt the solder all the way through, and I'm not game enough to wait until they do in fear of cooking something important. What do I do?Xbox 360 laptop

So me and a friend(usually the way cool stories start decided to give it ago, all is going well so far, except I'm seriously struggling to remove solder from some of the pins of the components, I have discovered that more often than not these pins are soldered to the ground. It seems they just soak up the heat of my 450 degree C iron and not melt the solder all the way through, and I'm not game enough to wait until they do in fear of cooking something important. What do I do?
