Re: Removing surface mounted resistor #ubitx

Hi Robbie,
I was hesitant as well, in the beginning.? I am blind in 1 eye.? I have no depth perception.? I can do it.

Good luck,

I want to try changing the value of R70 from 10, to 1000 Ohms (as per Rev4), but I've never tried removing a surface mounted component before, and a bit scared of damaging the board/resistor (in case I need to put it back).

Can anyone advise how best to go about this please?

I'm even toying with the idea of cutting the tack on either side so I can bridge the gap with a new value (or feed lines to my proto board for testing of various resistances...
