Hi all,
Would just like to share this with you, when you have signal fault and suspect ccont, cobba or haggar but don't have a hot air rework station you can use a hair dryer to reheat the components, heat the pcb avioding other than above components for around 5 mins don't move or touch or knoch the pcb at all during the heating and cooling only touch carefully when completely cold.
Some may disagree saying you kill chips, you won't kill chips this way unless you heat for much longer or are careless. Heat gently and take special care
