Reviving this old thread, having sat untouched for over 6 months I sent this card to mjnurney to desolder the old simm sockets that were put on the wrong way round by the last user
(see Page 1 https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=17913)
MJ done this for me a few weeks back with his new desoldering station/pump and I finally got round to soldering on the new simm sockets, the old soldering work was quite messy but MJ was able to get the old sockets off pretty cleanly, thanks mate
Anyway, I tried a few days ago with flux paste and the soldering wasn't going well so I stopped and ordered some liquid flux which I'm pleased to say is much easier to use and I was able to solder the new sockets with ease using just a basic soldering iron
So here she is, all fixed
Thanks again MJ for your help, I never could have removed those sockets so cleanly with my kit here
