Desoldering ics

[Somerandomtechyboi]

Need something to desolder bios chip cause my x58a ud3r is indeed screwed over by a crappy solder job on the bios chips (confirmed by just dabbing abit of solder paste on the main bios)

 

Solder paste only fixes it temporarily and MIT menu just freezes the thing up so figured its best to just fix the crappy solder job and resolder the bios chips

 

 

What do i buy to desolder these bios chip ics? Mainly looking at hot air tools but kinda confused as to what i should get since theres 850a and 858d(+) and all sorts of tiers (judging by rebranded hot air tools), mainly looking at "quick" 850a or any 858d+ model

If it's just a QFP surface-mount part, you shouldn't have to completely remove it unless you need to reflash it out of the system.

 

You just need some no-clean flux, a clean soldering iron tip, and fresh solder.

 

 

If you do have to remove it, hot air is the easiest method.

When I was doing hot air work I just bought a cheap 858a worked fine on 100's of similar projects

Could you take a pic of it?

I dont see many 858a for sale, mostly just the d or plain 858 (no a/d)

Unfortuantely I stopped using sometime back so don't have a picture, but just get the cheap D version

Any diff between the 2 versions?

All I know is they produce heat for the job, I am sure there if you google them:)
