Hi, I was installing the duo3 mod-chip in a V14 ps2. I already did this with a V12 and a V13. But with the v14 some contacts are not so easy to solder, so I tried the alternative ones. Now I screwed up! I accidentally soldered some contacts to each other. Something like in the picture. How can I DEsolder that??? Or do I have to ask a pro to do that? Please help!
You should of had a professional install it for you in the first place, because i have a modchip as well but im not gong to install it my self because i would stuff it up.
well you can just try heating up the solder and use some desoldering braid, better yet use a desolder gun, that sucks it up while its hot, just dont desolder anything else on accident
what you do is add more solder onto those legs to make a big glob--then you heat up that glob of solder and suck it away with a solder sucker and presto--its all gone.
Where exactly did you bridge the solder? On the leads of an IC? It can be a little tricky to remove. I would use a desoldering braid as recommended previously. If it's bridged closer to than IC and not so close to the PCB, try a solder sucker. If you don't know how to use either one, let someone know and ask for more help.
