I tried like heck to get the solder out of those tiny pins on the HDMI port. I used flux, a wick etc. I finally learned about Fast Chip (or ChipQuick) and bought some. I slathered some on and then pressed gently on the pins with the flat side of the chisel tip and they went through cleanly. It was amazing how nicely it worked.
I cleared the two large holes that secure it to the PCB using the dental pick method that I learned from you all. The little tiny holes are a different story.
How would you all recommend clearing those holes? There are 19 tiny holes. Should I slather some more Fast Chip stuff on and push the pins through and then wick it up or is there some other method that you all use?
Which brings me to my next question, how do you get solder on to each pin? I've replaced caps on motherboards and displays and even an Xbox 360 but there is always spacing between pins. I haven't been able to find many videos on this kind of thing because there are mostly SMD videos now.
