SMD Device not removing

[spiderd18]

Hey Guys

I've done my research on how to remove SMD devices from a PCB motherboard and brought a T8280 PREHEATING STATION and 852D SMD station. I understand you have to preheat the motherboard to around 120C-150C and use the hot air gun to make the device loose so then you can remove it. I still can't remove any SMD device on the motherboard I've preheated the board to 170C and the hot air gun is at 250C with the air flow set to about 1/3. I cant even remove the small capacitors with 3 pins. I'm certain im using the right temperatures but I don't know where Im going wrong. Also the board is a acer laptop motherboard

Thanks

SM components are normally glued in place as well, tricky things to remove.

Can you melt solder? It should turn color, (shiny) when melted.

The glue will usually shear when the device is twisted.

Make sure the solder is melted.
