Matti and others,
Well, I was defeated by that small DDS IC1 chip. I tried to solder it but it was so tiny that I got solder bridges and finally lifted a pad or two. I couldn't get my iron onto any one pad. How do the experts handle this?
I assume the board is useless and will have to order a new one. I looked at it under a microscope and it looked bad.
Is it possible to order a new board and have that chip soldered on for me (at extra cost)? I would need the entire board and parts with the exception of the actual display unit which was not involved in my mishap.
What can be done here?
Thanks
