D' you think a hairdryer would work? :)
Probably not hot enough ;-)
Ok, seriously, any problems with
existing parts coming unstuck and getting blown around? Or is the nozzle
tight enough that other chips usually don't get hot enough?
It depends on the nozzle, the temperature, and the technique. If you do
one chip at a time, get the temperature right, and don't take too long, I'd
guess you'd only melt the solder on the adjacent side of the adjacent chip,
and it shouldn't move. I'd use a good quality low-temperature rework
solder to minimise the risk. However, I'm not an expert, and maybe I've
just been lucky.
