Im using AYOUE (or its AOYUE? well whatever... hotair rework, and its worth every penny, fantastic machine for that price.
look at some of my pics, ie.
http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=2174http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=2174it will be imposssible to do it without it. with ayoue 850 its a piece of cake :-D
Ive once also replaced memory chips on Viper520 turboboard (pretty rare, and with directly soldered 8MB in four chips), with chips desoldered from simm sticks. few minutes and its runnin like new.
advices:
1) learn how to use it on some peecee boards or similar
2) use a lot of flux and quality solder paste
brand isnt important imho, and i can only recommend that korean blackbox! (ayoue). most brands uses same nozzles iirc
