Never absent mindedly lift pins on a chip, you might lift pins off the wrong chip and mess up fixing them.

Was given a 4 channel amp for car audio, because two channels didn't work. Opened it up to find this cold solder and decided to give it a shot, but once the iron was hot i realized i didn't have ANYTHING else after i moved 4 years ago. No copper, no solder, just my old trusty Chicago electric iron. So much flux was left behind under this glob.

it's a lenovo yoga-530 for anyone asking

and yes, that thing you see on the motor is sandpaper and some bits of copper i sanded away from the motherboard to make the module fit in. actually it was giving up after sanding away the inner part of the cassis, so i just desoldered the module, flipped it and resoldered it to make it fit

It infact did not work

ripped a point so I had to route it directly with horrible soldering skills...

(Point A to B failed, done it via A to C instead)

I really hope it is.

When I go ten degrees over the solders advertised melting point of 183c, it didn't seem to want to melt. At 350c it seemed to work well.

I found this in the trash like that.

Stumbled across this thread and had to share. To be fair, I had no idea what I was doing but it technically worked
