       I figured I would get around to fixing this up today. Then realizing I did more damage removing the ram chips the way I did. Argh! On one hand I wanna learn to fix this but on the other hand. Should I just grab a reproduction board?  My soldering experience and desoldering is a step above nil. If you can’t see it, what I did was broke the traces on the board around some sockets when I stupidly clipped the legs of the ram out instead of being patient #retrocomputing #amiga #a500 #commodore

       @Toxic_Flange Technique is valid, but you need the right tool. There's tiny flush cutters that can do that. Standard suggestion is to pull out the clipped legs with tweezers, but I find it faster easier and cleaner to heat from the backside til molten, then two the board on the bench.  Our comes dead leg and nearly all the solder.
