Desoldering a cold solder joint

[benutne]

I'm having trouble replacing some caps on a motherboard that have leaked, and I got to thinking, "I bet this is a cold solder joint." So I stopped and figured I'd ask.

How do I desolder a cold solder? Is it any different than regular? Any tips?

Thanks

Cool. Thanks. I guess I just wasn't leaving the iron on contact long enough.

A quick tip to help you, put more solder on the pin in question. It helps heat everything quicker. Then remove it it all.

Ah. I would have never thought of that. Thanks for the tip!
