ANSWERED De-solder help

[nick1234]

Trying to use Pin Headers to read the nand, but the solder will not come out some of the holes, really starting to annoy me now. Im using de-solder braid, most of the holes are done and the solder came out easily, but there are still a few holes with solder left in them. Any tips and advice? can i just take out the pins in the header which aren't connected to any wires?
thanks

hello mate you can if you wont take out unused ones as not needed,as far
as i no they just make more stable etc mate

as long as them holes arent connected to wires then its fine to remove the pins. you do find that theres 1 or 2 holes that are more difficult.

Yes, you can just pull out the pins not connected to the wire. And also read this : http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55957. Read steven's post.
