Hi, has anyone a good solution to solder out and replace a ram slot on the motherboard ?
I tried one useless board to use preheater from the backside of the motherboard to melt the tin and take out the whole socket in one move, but the ram plastic did melt before the tin became fluid, so no use for such a method.
I know a tin wave bath could do it, but it's difficult to McGuyver such an installation in a non professional workshop at home and it requires a lot of tin, which is not cheap. Also brute force and desoldering the pins one by one is a way to get out the socket, but the appropriate question is how to get out a socket in a perfect condition to recover it as spare part to be able to reuse it ?
Any suggestions ?
