Im now on my finishing stages of the PSp and its going to be finally finished, left only the wirings.

However, I had one big major problem, I cant desolder the joints connecting to the controller, AV, Power ports. I tried placing the soldering iron on it for more than 30 secs and it still wouldnt melt, If those things were to be at there, It would severly affect the whole project as I need redo the whole thing as the board couldnt fix inside the frame.

The question is, how do I get those solders joints out? It seems that it is permanent joined. Do help me guys, thanks a lot.

You could always cut them off with a rotary tool or some wire cutters. Scissors might even be able to do it if you have a good pair.

What kind of soldering iron do you have? Does it melt fresh solder? Do you have any experience with soldering? Any experience with desoldering?
