>>Soldering so close to the chip is dangerous or not ?<<
- Yes, indeed ! Heat & ESD would hurt electronic devices.
Soldering a pin taken from a DIP IC is a good idea.
Suggestion :
- Made some setup, take care about ESD before doing anything.
- Solder one side of the new DIP IC pin to a long wire.
This make life easier to handle the pin & dissipating heat while soldering its other side back to the IC.
- Gently remove the long wire from the new pin after work & here you go.
I've fixed broken IC pins & did have some success that way.
