I don't have a proper SMD hot air fab/rework station (though I know a
man who does). I do have a thermostatically-controlled hot air gun,
and I've used that for a few jobs. One was almost on-topic: I removed
two DRAMs from a DIMM and put them on a special one for my 486 laptop,
which didn't have enough memory to even install an old Linux distro.
