I'm testing ways to remove CGB CPUs with just an iron. I don't particularly recommend this. Flux, low melt (really flood it in) and wicked over it twice. Probably should have cleaned it and re fluxed it for the second wicking

Just in case u need visual proof - I do usually use a hot plate. Trust me I've removed more game boy CPUs then u could dream of

I didn't even know this was possible! Great amount of skill Natalie, will have to give this a go :)

Thank you! :)

The magic of low melt & flux. Neat! I'm starting to get into soldering/modding my personal retro systems. (NES, SNES, Gamecube, Wii, Genesis, Game Gear, Saturn, PS1/2/3, Xbox/360 etc) Got a SEQURE S99 Iron + tips, hot air station, waiting on a Digital Microscope to arrive.

That's exciting! seriously when you get a microscope it makes a massive difference

I rarely see your posts, but when I do it's the most ingenious, efficient shit

I used a $10 USB-C hot plate to remove the RAM and CPU off a GBC motherboard while building Mouse Bite Labs DMG Color

Is there any reason you can't just hot air it off?

I personally do, but I'm testing different methods for people who only have an iron

This risks potentially damaging the pads and traces. I have a proven method where you put thick wire around the package with lots of solder, that way you can heat up all the pads and remove the chip easily. Works well on corroded boards too.

That's why I don't particularly recommend it tbh. I'm just testing different methods
