Re: Can i desolder and resolder a buffer chip?

It is possible but difficult. Removing the old ic is the hardest part as it takes a lot of heat to melt the solder ground. I
I use acetone to remove as much silicone as I can then use solder wick and lots of flux on the legs. Then out comes the hot air gun, start on the other side melt the solder and then bact to the legs just don't damage the solder beds
