I want to replace a PLCC84 surface mounted chip and take the opportunity to socket it.
I have looked at some YouTube videos to see how others have done this. I am thinking that the best way is going to be to pre-solder the pads on the socket, place the socket on the board and then heat the pads on the socket from above with my finest tip. I don't have a hot air gun, access to one side of the socket would be difficult from the "outside" as there is another tallish component fairly close by. Is that my best option? Any better ways? Thanks Rob
