Re: Removing a 15 pin chip I've done what SparkChaser suggests many times.
Clip the leads off at the IC body with a good pair of cutters, then heat the lead and pull it out.
One other thing I do to get nice clean holes, is to add a bit of solder to the now empty hole, and then wick it off with solder wick.
And then I clean both sides of the board with Isopropyl Alcohol.

Gee that may have helped when I was repairing the washing machine board. |

| If you can't suction old solder, melt new solder in the old joint. Then try the braid or the pump. |

Greenwich, CT | My braid is almost gone.. Speaking of that which braid works best? I had the radio shack brand and it has mixed reviews, for me it does not start wicking unless I put some solder on it and use my 40W iron. |

Interesting - I didn't realize "Solder Wick" even had a competitor.
