Default Re: Cyrus III amplifier - output stage failure.

You can score the leads of the IC several times, untol they sever and the chip falls loose. You then warm and pick-off each lead individually, then clean the pads with solder wick before you lightly re-tin ready for the new device.

This is the option for when you know you don't need the device and you want to make minimum risk to the board.
