yeah i was doing it that way, before… but way to time consuming when you have 16 ram chips to remove and then attach 16 chips.
what i found if you flux, it might be messy, yes but when the chip is preheated, and the pads are up to temp as well. Once you set the ram chip on
there most of the time it likes flow right into its natural spot. If not then i just back the heat off some and then aline it by giving it a little push in the right direction with my needle nose pliers.
pretty much my tools for removal and install are needle nose pliers, lots of flux, and heat gun.
that is all.
i clean up flux with acetone, tooth brush, paper towel.
and here is my work surface when using the heat gun,(dead, dead LC PSU's) helps act as a heat sink for the chips on the bottom.
and keeps me from catching my mouse pads on fire. Macdrone hooked me up with these bad boys! IKEA mouse pad special
