...soldered a chip in the wrong way round

I feel such a pillock, but in my defence, it was artificial light, and the writing was small

Dunno, waiting until I've got better light before I redo it properly

Some people just can't be trusted

I'd blame the manufacturers for making them so small these days mate. That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it.

Been there, done that, let the smoke out.

Pah !!!!,
I just soldered in a 176 pin QFP, onto an Acer motherboard, and it worked afterwards. Well sort of............

Its not the soldering in I struggle with, its removing SMD using just an iron.

Still, this will give me the perfect opportunity to try a method suggested by another member  [smiley=happy.gif]

Blowlamp, lump hammer and boulster chisel by any chance?

Sammy would be quicker

Hot Air, makes it sooo easy to get the little b*gg*rs off, you can even solder them back on using it, if you are lucky and don't blow them off the PCB. You can use a hot air Paint stripper, a bit vicious but will work.

When i worked in pcb manufacturing, i didnt actually manage to solder them in the wrong way round.......but i used have to remove wrongly soldered in ic's (bloody automatic stuffing machine couldnt tell if an ic was the round way round in the tube and it used to happen quite frequently.) No one used to notice until the pcb failed testing and was sent to technicians to find out why.  

My prefered method of removing them.......altho we did have kit to do it properly   was to cut the tinkers out   far quicker   But then there was ample supple of new ones which i guess you dont have.

Bl00dy-Hell A paint stripper!
Surely this cooks everything around the device & even burns the pcb?
