Alright folk's, sorry to keep posting about stuff. Just wondering, Is there a basic rule to soldering off the card readers from a DI4001N?? Ive had a quick go but it just does not seem to come loose or away from the board.

Thanks People

Use some braid to remove the solder and it will come away-take your time and lift bit by bit as you go-it will come away

braid wont be any goood. well it will be for the little bit but from what i can see its the big bits which will cause a prob. you need a lot of heat over a big area.
try as my prev post suggests

Much easier to snip it off and then desolder one at a time, new card readers are cheap.
