Hello all,
I am about to undertake the modification of a usb web cam (for the interested please look here: **broken link removed**). It involves lifting pins on surface mounted ics and breaking tracks.
I would greatly appreciate any advice that you could give me as to, how to best prepare for this task.
I have scrounged old pcbs on which I can practise, and gotten hold of 15W iron for the soldering. Planning to use a razor blade (the old kind that you can hold) to lift the pins and perform the cut on the track. Anything else I can do, plan for?
Thank you for your advice.
