Here we go.... (48G fixing and MEMORY UPGRADE)

[lemontea]

Ok before I do any of that, a couple of questions:

1) Would just heating and pressing solder wick against the pins work?

2) What "fancy tools" are we talking about? You mean dedicated desoldering gear? (I actually have a solder sucker gun but wonder if it will "suck" too much in this case).

Again, big thanks guys! This is all a lot of work but somehow very rewarding, like working on old cars or guitars I suppose (never did those; I'm sure some here do!).
