Pin bending? What? No pin bending required. Properly desoldered, all that's ever needed IMO is sometimes a light wet&dry 'sanding' to ensure all the leg edges are solder-free, then they drop right in to the sockets on the new board. If you're finding you need to bend anything, you've likely got the desoldering very badly wrong.Out of curiousity, whats the go-to method for taking the unsoldered IC's and getting them to fit the sockets reliably?
I picked up one of these boards recently to salvage a too-far-gone A3000 but i've not been able to find any info/pictures/videos on the pin bending process.
