2. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF FLAT PACKAGE IC
REMOVAL 1. Put the Masking Tape (cotton tape) around the Flat Package IC to protect other parts from any damage. (Refer to Fig. 2-1.) NOTE Masking is carried out on all the parts located within 10 mm distance from IC leads.
Blower type IC desoldering machine
3. When IC starts moving back and forth easily after desoldering completely, pickup the corner of the IC using a tweezers and remove the IC by moving with the IC desoldering machine. (Refer to Fig. 2-3.) NOTE Some ICs on the PCB are affixed with glue, so be careful not to break or damage the foil of each IC leads or solder lands under the IC when removing it.
