If you run into this again, use a rotary grinder with a super small tip to carefully grind away the area above the pins to expose more surface to solder to. We had to do that on the Wii drives when they started clipping pins to prevent drive hacking. It will give you more area to solder to and usually keeps you from putting so much heat into the chip trying to get it to stick to the leg remnant.
I use an AmScope SM745NTP-B but I do not recommedn anything AmScope sells. They routinely mess up orders and their customer service is non-existet. Omano has a very similar microscope and you can get it here, though it is pricey. www.microscope.com/omano-om2300s-zoom-stereo-microscope-head.html A lot of people seem to prefer digital microscopes with an LCD screen like these: www.microscope.com/omano-cx3-2300s-v3-digital-inspection-microscope.html Pretty expensive and I know you can cheaper brans but I just don't know enough about them to suggest anything. I paid about a grand for my set up 5 years ago, I'm happy with it, and with the repairs I,ve been able to do I can confidently say I've made that money back but AmScope as a company is garbage.
If you were to buy one again what would you get ? Also I’ve been watching your channel for a while so you got me into this shit lol I really enjoy it thanks for making these I’ve learned a ton from you.

I know I havs some games that have chip legs completely correded away from the chip that this might be handy for. Thanks!
Nice fix man! Not the easiest by any means. Your thumbnails are fine. Not sure why people can't understand the joke.
"Maybe I should switch to a different tip."
Nah man. The J-tip is perfect for every job.
This guy gets it!
Also watching your videos gave me the skills to pay the bills as you say
You’re doing a great job, please keep it up and let us enjoy your amazing fixings
I just wanted to see the lady in the thumbnail's reaction to being able to play Ogre Battle, but I guess I'll never know...
Great vid, you have a ton of patience!
U can file a little bit of the plastic to expose the metal to solder the pins to for future reference
Wacky thumbnail but good video lol
I cum for the thumbnails
Hell yea brother love the video I just fixed double dragon on nes yesterday
Hell yeah!!
Droid Cam - might be a better option for your phone as a camera, since it doesn't cost nearly as much.
saved a great game
