[Elecraft] K2 # 6444 soldering problem

[Don Wilhelm]

Allan,
Carve away a bit of the plastic on the socket near pin 1 - cut away 
enough to get the soldering iron tip in contact with the pin (yes, it 
may also melt a bit more of the plastic and raise a stench).  The feed 
the solder onto the solder side - under the LCD.  It takes a bit of 
patience, but is much easier and better than attempting to de-solder the 
LCD.

73,
Don W3FPR
