Yeah, I usually snip them and remove a pin at a time, I don't care if they're going in the bin.exxos wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 12:54 pm You can heat up the resistor pack.. It will likely burn and break, but it gets hot enough to remove it. This way your not really heating the MB at at all, at least not directly. So it greatly helps not burning a hole in the board. If you burn a resistor pack removing it.. who cares.
