Many years ago, I did component level repairs for everything from Data General memory cards to PC 5150 memory. The problem with the built in solder suckers is that it's easy to damage the pads when you have a tiny trace that you're putting a metal nozzle over. Solder flux and desoldering wick is much safer, and sometimes you will get better results by adding solder, then using wick to pull it out. Adding new solder helps heat the pins up with more surface area.
