I've managed to remove all of the bad caps from my MB and now I'm clearing the holes of solder, but there is one hole in particular that the solder refuses to leave. I'm using a de-soldering pump, and most holes clear with one shot. I tried braid, and using a pin to clear the solder initially to see which method worked best for me, but didn't have any success using those techniques, so I settled on the pump as it works great for me.
With the hole in question, I once again tried braid, and sticking a pin down the hole to make sure there were no cavities devoid of solder in there, but the solder still won't budge.
I don't suppose anyone has an idea why this might be, or what else I could try? This one hole is really stating to wear my patience thin!
