How to clean solder off
hammad:
Hello,
How to clean soldering off the jamma pcb's edge connector ? I tried melting it with a soldering iron and using a cloth but not too much successful because it becomes solid again very fast...

A solder sucker. You shouldn't solder without one. Under $10 at Radio Shack.

Yep, or for this typical purpusose, meshed wire may be even better. Don't know it's real English name.

Also known as desoldering braid. I've only used a "solder sucker" and it's suited my purposes just fine but I know people that swear by desoldering braid too. Either will work.
