Oops, my braid froze to some traces... I better yank it free! Eight minutes and thirty-seven seconds of butchery. I am sure posterity will be glad it was preserved.
Jesus Christ don't take any of your broken electronics to that guy! They will probably come back even more broken and you still have to pay the douche! LOOKS ATROCIOUS!

It had lost its clock settings and wasn't responding to the ISP so I had to put on a fresh chip with known clock settings. While I was there I also updated the bootloader to the standard Atmel version.
what reason did you want to take out this chip? .Im in the process of replacing a simple switch on a effects pedal for a guitar. Im using the braid but I just cant seem to get the solder to pull into the braid. any suggestions?
I had to remove this chip as it had corrupt/incorrect programming settings, I replaced with a new chip in a known state which I could then reprogram correctly.
If the switch is "through-hole" component then try using a solder pump or "solder- sucker".
Sometimes I find adding MORE solder to the pads of a component before using braid can help with desoldering.
The video here is the absolutly wrong way to go about it. use a good size tip and try just using solder to see if you can lift the part out while the solder is still fluid.
no disrespect but it looks like you made a right pigs ear out of removing that chip (lucky you didn't lift the pads or damage the legs) - try a hot air gun with fine nozzle it is a lot easier and safer
dont trow tools table makes a tarible noise specialy wen u are seing the video with earphones by the way aint easier to cut a long side the chip with a razor blade
I probably could have done this using the de-soldering braid if I'd changed to a big meaty tip, but I was in a really lazy mood. Maybe one day I'll make some videos where I do it the "proper" way.
a little. but the main problem is not enough heat. The wick is already coated in rosin and other chemicals that make the solder flow nicely. flux would of helped but mostly a bigger tip would have been better. I guess this vid demos how to remove a TQFP package without a large tip :)
I'm not sure if enough solder would be left over after that, but you might be able to put a new chip on top and reflow it back on using the oven. Otherwise, clean it and use solder paste. (or attach by hand like the next video)
Or if you want all the chips off, after it heats up quickly take the board out with pliers and tap it on the table. Through-hole capacitors and plastic things are best removed by hand first.
Get a cheap toaster oven, warm it to 425-450F. Super glue a nail or a metal thumb tack to the top of the chip. Place the pcb in for a little while, once it melts the solder, open the door and pull off the chip using needle nose pliers or tweezers. Then turn off the oven and leave the door open, in a few seconds it will drop below the melting point and you can carefully remove it with pliers. Keep it level, don't put pressure on any plastic parts and let it cool.

I can't watch this; you might as well use a hammer and chisel!

Unbelievable. Almost as if he was learning how solder while filming the video. Why would you show this, you suck.

You are crazy. I never saw the man doing this before. It takes too long for a small chip, period.

absolutely horrible. maybe instead of posting videos showing your lousy methods you should watch some others before trying this kind of work.

That looks like the AVR JTAG from ERE?
You could have just tacked wires on the the ISP pins to reprogram.
These are great little boards, I use mine with the IAR C compiler.

try cutting the legs at the chip,then remove legs from pads.works on through hole ic's too.

Would putting flux on the wick make a big difference?

(Well ventilated, never use that toaster oven for food again and don't touch the hot pcb or oven rack)
