Really struggling with this board, Dell XPS NVidia 790i 775, tried removing 5 caps but its been a nightmare. Ended up just pulling them out and most of the holes are blocked with fragments of the leg remaining.
Don't understand why its so hard, its like the solder around it in unmeltable.
Iron is 60w and desoldering gun is 80w
Tried adding more solder but it seems to not stick properly to old solder. When I melt it seems just like its floating on the surface of the board.
Tried putting delsoldering gun on one side and soldering iron on other end, which worked for about 3 holes but nada on the others.
Don't know what to do, contemplating trying to drill them out now with a fine bit.
Have ordered some super fine tips aswell in hope I can poke through but I doubt that will work.
