This is what it looked like after some flux and heat work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The butane soldering iron just doesn’t have enough oomph to get it all without running out of gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did it come off in the first place? No it wasn’t forced, it gave way while being wiggled gently. Came clean off and couldn’t get the fan plug out of it for 5 more minutes of fiddling in the first place. It wouldn’t budge out of there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
