so I think the disappearing balls are the key to what I've been missing

I took a brand new chip and soldered the pins, they disappeared just like the used chips

Is it possible that because these chips are so small, they come pre-balled? If that is so, how do I test an old chip?

Hmmm........
lol noob

EFFFF YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


I just soldered all 48 pins using only solder and an iron. No balls, no screens, none of that shit.

And I did it on one of the "postless" chips!

I have no idea what this means but it made me excited.

And if it does, then just create sockets :whiste:

shouldn't even have to do that. If I can do the same thing on the board, then I just have to find a way to merge the two

sockets would be easier, you create the sockets, then slide the chip in. No worry about damaging the chip while you solder.

then just have a molten solder pit, pincer the chip and do a quick dip and hope for individual spike to form on each contact and not touch other contacts :cool:

already thought of that..with a .75mm pitch, there is no chance
