Desoldering SMD components
I got an old TI-83 calculator with a busted screen, and I'm thinking off taking the z80, memory, and clock stuff and moving it all onto another PCB. Any advice as to how to do so without burning out either of those chips? Or would it be simpler just to mess with it while it's still attached to the calculator? I've got a little soldering experience, I almost stop burning myself with the iron now
