Trying my hand at fixing PS5 Dualsense stick drift, bought all the necessary tools and replacement parts but I've now hit a brick wall because I am having trouble removing the old solder from the PCB through hole plated holes! This is something I thought I'd be able to do with 22 years soldering experience but obviously not!!! I'll try ordering a little leaded solder rather than lead free to see if that helps but I'm very disappointed as these controllers are expensive.
