John, got some ICs in and did the fix tonight.? If you wouldn't mind glancing over this and giving me some experienced feedback before I power it on again it'd be much appreciated.
Masked it off with some duct tape so hot air wouldn't affect much else.? Came off rather clean.? After this photo I added some flux and wicked a bit of the raised solder off.
Verified old to new and started tacking it on.? Looks decent from the top.
Until I get it around to about this angle and I see pin 1 especially is a little blobby but ok, nothing _looks_ touching.
But I go ahead with the diode which turned out good (imo).? But then I get another angle at the 1-8 pins and see it looks much different in that light.? Especially 1, 4, 8, and maybe 2.? Guessing it's worth going back and putting some more flux on and reflow.? Thoughts?
Thanks so much for your advice.
