pot.After with a pliers unsolder all the point stay in the IC. You can
blow on the IC to remove the rest of tin when it's warm, to let the
hole empty.Me i use an iron paper clip to remove the tin inside the
hole.I heat the paper clip, i push it inside the hole, and i move it
to remove the tin from the hole.
