K2 # 6444 soldering problem

OZ8A Allan
I have an error on FP in U1 pin 1, which is not soldered.
LCD is in place and soldered. How do I manage to solder pin 1 ?? Any
suggestions are welcome.

Allan,
Carve away a bit of the plastic on the socket near pin 1 - cut away
enough to get the soldering iron tip in contact with the pin (yes, it
may also melt a bit more of the plastic and raise a stench).  The feed
the solder onto the solder side - under the LCD.  It takes a bit of
patience, but is much easier and better than attempting to de-solder the
LCD.
