Hi.
I'm sitting on a place where I haven't got a vacuum tin pump (not sure about the correct english terminology on certain tools, I hope you can bear with me) and I do have a mainboard that I want to dismount some components. Mainly some caps.
So here I am, without proper soldering tools. But I do have a heat gun that can deliver enough temperature to melt tin. As a consequense of this, any components and components close will heat up until the tin melts and I can drag the wanted component out from the mainboard.
The question I have is what components have the greatest chance to survive this threatment and what type of components will almost for sure die?
Thanks
