 yah thats what i was wondering, frying components. but it is surely a
 common technique, this is the first ive seen with a hot plate. most
 use a hot air gun.

hot air is used to unsolder components for replacement.
hot plate imho is fake
if you want to do a clean and standard work follow this video about 0402 size:

it's almost the same I tried to explain before, but here it is more clear and 
complete.

More coverage of various techniques here, including details of the hotplate 
method. It's the wrong method for reattaching a USB connector and a resistor.

 Cool to hear that you are interested in GPS. However, I did most of my
 experiments in RTK mode, not DGPS. If I understand it correctly in
 DGPS the base station can be much further away than in RTK. This means
 you can probably use some publicly available DGPS basestation for your
 experiments.

Ok, My bad, I confused your experiments and thought it was DGPS.

 http://www.epncb.oma.be/_trackingnetwork/stationmaps.php

 has a list of EUREF reference stations in Europe. Are you near one of
 them?

Depends on how you define near. The area I would be interested in
using it is between 5 and 30 kms away from the nearest station.

5 - 30 km should be ok for DGPS. 5 km might even work for RTK. Apply
for an EUREF account and test if you can get RTK work with only one
device :-)
