Baking A PCB

Haha yeah, well, I turned it on again, and I guess the problem was with the TSOP legs, because it sparked, caught fire, burnt white-hot, and scorched a few pads. I removed the TSOP and cleaned up the pads, but now it flashes red and orange (trace broken somewhere). I could have sworn the pads only connected the VIAs to the legs of the TSOP but I guess something else is wrong. Im just going to keep the board for parts, mainly the RAM. Thanks anyways!

Why not use a small paint stripper gun? they can get up to 900 Degrees and can target specific areas.

**broken link removed**
They can easily get up to 900F and up.
