OT: Removing Electrolytic cap residue - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

5 Apr 2005

...
  I've removed a few ISA and PCI slots using a
hot-air gun.
 My success rate for ISA was quite good but PCI was less good: 
I've found using the wide flat nozzle helps, it's easier to
heat the length of the connector evenly.

...
  I was doing this "just because I could" (I
was scrounging 
 other bits at the time) so I don't know whether the 
 salvaged ISA or PCI slots would have worked again. 
Likewise, I do know the ISA slots will work again though as
I use them for things like this ..
