Loren if you need to unsolder... go to radio shack and get a desoldering iron.... (looks like a soldering iron except has a red squeezy thing on it), anyway the first time I tried it I got the chip on perfectly only to find that I'd gotten two of the LEDs in backwards, I tried getting those LED's out and ended up ripping some stuff off the board in the process... needless to say that one got replaced. The desoldering iron works great and comes in handy, I only had to use it once so far but makes life so much easier.
