[Az-Geocaching] any electronics techies in here?

[AZcachemeister]

Hey Scott!
Considering the advancement (?{cheaper is better, right?}) of circuit 
board technology, I'd say any attempt to solder the part (using 
traditional methods) to the board will destroy both. The component was 
likely bonded (read: glued) in place using technology that is 
non-repairable (well it COULD be repaired if you had the $450,000 
machine necessary to do it...) :-( :'( O:-)
