@nazokiyoubinbou @PJ_Evans @futurebird I really struggled with the desoldering. The IC is bad but on the left edge of the image there is a through-hole display that got even more charred. Using lead free solder ups the challenge but a requirement for me.

I think if I had a big chisel tip for my iron I might have done better. I'm also pondering if a cheap hot air reflow station might be worth getting too.
