Yes, you might be able to do that but remember - you're going to melt the solder on every part and you still have to place your hands into the oven with a pair of tweezers to grab and remove the part, without touching anything else around it. :exc:

I've been taking my time with this so that I can learn how to use the rework equipment (FloMaster) so I don't (hopefully) damage anything on the X51v PCB.

The rework equipment has a high temperature suction cup that pulls the part off the PCB when the solder melts. This is what PocketPC Techs use to do their RAM upgrade.
