Hello,
Can someone give me some suggestions on how to desolder a surface mount mini / micro USB port? I'm especially having trouble with the shield. I tried hot air on the experimental one and although I was able to successfully remove it from the PCB, the plastic was all melted (didn't realize the bottom of the plastic was melting out). I've had trouble before with shields that were a bit larger in size (like 4 - 6 USB ports). It's always the shields I have trouble with. Is there a trick or something? Do I just need a beefy soldering iron with a large tip? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
