Just finished reading about OCCAM, a solder-less process for assembling PCBs. If this method becomes standard practice, I can't see how a failing component on a PCB will be replaced. Basically, junk the board and get a new one (if you can).
Solder: Is It Really Required for Electronics Assembly?
Solder’s days are numbered. There’s a better alternative that, essentially, reverses the manufacturing process.
