I might have just ran a wire through the hole and
tacked it onto the
pin.
This really depends on who I was doing this for. If for a customer=2C
I'd have replaced the chip. If for me=2C as I stated=2C I'd most like not
even bothered to remove the part.
It is my experience that desoldering and resoldering a chip (DIL, SOIC,
PQFP, etc) does not significantly reduce reliability. Many times I've
desodlerd a chip for some reason, and then soldered it back, and only
very rarely does that part fail first (or second or....).
