Well, I'm having this problem, and opened up my unit. I don't think the old 25W pencil iron is going to do it. I have an extra base unit and don't mind trying, but could use some advice, never having desoldered surface mount parts. What sort of tool should I have? What's the basic technique?

I googled around a bit, and the idea seems to be that you just heat the part up and "wipe it off" (correct)?

I'm thinking of putting in a variable resistor: how does this sound (from RS):
1K-Ohm Horizontal-Style Trimmer Micro-size. Rated 0.1W, 50VDC.

Thanks for any help.
