Re: Gear Tooth Sensor problem found

The other method for small chip items is to use two soldering irons. Ungar Princess my favorite but they are no longer sold. Good irons with a thermostactily controled heater at about 750f and small flat tips. Same process as far as good light and magnifiers, and solder wick to clean up. You use the two irons, one each side of the chip at once. I've had good luck getting parts removed with this method, but sometimes kill the removed part. Having a helper with the tweasers grab the part should help with the runining the part problem.
