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?
25W pencil iron should do the job
I googled around a bit, and the idea seems to be that
you just heat the part up and "wipe it off" (correct)?
Right
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.
