How to attach FV-1

[Robert]

I should add, aside from the IC being upside down you did a pretty dang good job of soldering it... especially for your first time.

Ship it back and I'll remove it / flip it around for you.

Removing it without a hot air gun is going to be difficult

Welp, I didnt see this until after my ill fated attempt, and I got it from Das Musikding with the kit anyway. Unfortunately I went with a method from a youtube video of bending each pin up one by one, and on the third to last pin, I accidentally broke the pin off of the chip. Ah well, I will have to order a new one. At least I have a funny story out of it.

Thanks! Youtube tutorials and lots of flux carried me through

Sometimes the hard lessons are the ones that stick.

Well if it didnt stick to the board then there wouldnt have been a issue

Which pin? May not need it.

Third from the corner opposite of the marked one, the pad on the pin one closer to the corner from that also came off, so I was just going to order the new pcb and this time get the FV-1 pre soldered lol

Assuming it's pad 26, jumper to the c9 r8 node. And if you lifted the pad for pin 12, just bridge it to pin 11.
Watcha got to lose?

Reread. Pad 13 lifted. Jumper to R5

Is a hot plate a good solution for removal? I know I’ve heard stories of folks using clothes irons upside down as an ad hoc hot plate

I'm with @Robert on this one. You really need a hot air gun to remove it. Yes, you could use a hot plate, but using a clothes iron as a hot plate without having any way to measure the actual temperature seems like a recipe for disaster.
