I figured this would count as vintage since SMT chips have been used by IBM since the old PS/2 day.
A customer sent me a board for repair that was damaged physically in shipping. Here's the write up on how I repaired a board that had a surface mount chip scraped off of it - along with most of the solder pads.

Enjoy!
And... there are more techniques in that thread you may enjoy.
If you have some repair techniques you'd like to share, add 'em to this thread and we'll have some documented here for other VCF users!
