[TMRA] De-soldering help...

    Not exactly radio related, but it is electronics related...  :-)

    Trying to swap a power connector on a HP computer system board for a friend, but whatever HP soldered it on with is defying my (and my equipment's) abilities.  I started off with my usual 30w iron that I've found in the past to be just barely adequate for video board repairs.  Didn't make a dent in the system board solder.  So, I packed up the board and headed off to work and used the SMD re-work station there.  Same lack of results.  Anyone/anyplace around town that has a high-powered de-soldering station that I could get to do a small job like this?

Thanks,
