Wow I didn't realise hadn soldering LQFP was so easy and quick. I'd assumed you had to do each pin individually. Thanks! Will save me a fortune on assembly for some upcoming hobby projects.
Thanks for this video. It gives me a bit more confidence soldering to a LQFP-64 pin, if I end up doing that rather than a software fix. My software kinda needs to use a pin that has no trace, so it may be time for some 30 gauge wire and a fine tip on the old soldering pencil. (I'm more of a software engineer, but I sometimes design some circuits). Software engineers are one thing, but even more - beware of programmers carrying soldering irons.
Get some flux, leaded 60/40 leaded solder a decent magnifier and some good solder wick. 2mm Chem-Wik is a good one. Then if you bridge you can add flux and mop out the joint. Good luck. P.S> Sorry about the software engineering joke..
It's great that that was the only fatality. I actually went and had a look about 2 years through your old videos and didn't see if it had made it back to life. I've never used flux to assist with removing smd stuff. I've used solely the hot air or occasionally with an iron as well. I've retired my Weller iron. It was an old Weller TCP iron and I got sick of replacing parts. It did a lot of work over lots of years but wear and tear got the better of it. I replaced elements, thermal switch, the cable and LOTS of tips. I now have a Hakko and a few cheapies.

is this leadfree solder you are working with?
You can do it with either but Leaded it is easier.
That joke was gold and seems absolutely spot on.
What was the goop that you applied prior to removing the IC?
Was that ic the only failure?
Yes worked Ok after the chip was changed. KINGBO RMA-218 - use in a well ventilated area.
