[Elecraft] Day 1: Fried something already?

[Andrew Moore]

Glad you got it working.  In the future, destroying the part *carefully* is
the way to go -- hack away at it with pliers, dremel, whatever.  But do it
carefully:

- too much stress and prying can rip the vias and pads off the board,
leaving you with (possibly) a bigger problem than before

- if you're cutting or dremel'ing it away, you're probably showwering the
rest of board with tiny metal shavings
