A resistor network normally has one common pin; one side of each of the resistors goes to a distinguished pin. It isn't going to work if it's in backward.
I invested in a Hakko 808 to remove solder from multi-pin devices. I find it difficult with just solder wick. It may be less difficult overall to just cut the part out, remove the pins one by one, and order a replacement resistor. They aren't all that expensive. A lot of time with heat and solder wick can be tough on the PC board. Good luck! Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gil G.

Aren't these just resistors? Why would there be a pin 1? Should I remove it? If so, how do I do that? I have solder wick, tried, but it isn't budging.
