Help desoldering

[Danny1013]

This may seem kind of stupid, but I don't have a dick of a clue as to how to properly desolder all the stuff on my snes mini motherboard. I hold the stupid iron there untill it slips, then I get pissed off. Can anyone tell me how to do this properly?

are you using soldering or desoldering iron? i assume desoldring iron works best but i don't know because i have 0 experience with soldering

Oh wait, you are new, so you obviously haven't done the mod.
Use this link instead:

I use a flux pen and solder wick, instead of a desoldering iron. Solder wick is simply braided copper with rosin--it comes in different thickness--to remove solder, heat the wick and the solder together, then the wick will "suck up" all of the solder.

Stop bumping old topics!

Might I suggest a harder crackdown on people who bump old topics, especially repeatedly? I know that many of the people who do it are new, but people should really start reading the rules/looking at how old a topic is before posting in it. I don't exactly know how we'd be harsher, since a temp. ban is definitely too extreme for that sort of thing. Hmmm.

Its kind of sad when a kids first three posts are bumps, and at that, for stupid threads. Its even sadder when statistics and percentages show that kids typically leave before their fifth post.

I'm glad to not be typical!

If your not even going to talk about the subject the thread is about then I have to lock it.
