Glad to see I'm not the only one to make these kind of silly mistakes.
Luckily, I had no traces underneath the center of the chip on the pcb.
This is my personal recipe for these kind of mistakes:
Ingredients:
- 2 TSSOP28 to DIP conversion boards
- 2 14 pin pin-headers
- 2 zebra strips cut to size.
- smallest bolt and nut i could find.
- Optional: 2 isolation rings.
- Optional: 1 bottle of premium beer.
Procedure:
- Put the beer in the fridge.
- Drill a hole in the pcb in the dead center where the offending chip should have been.
- Drill a hole in the dead center of 1 conversion board.
- Solder the pin headers on the conversion board with the hole in it.
- Place the zebra strip on the pads on the pcb.
- Carefully bolt that conversion board to the pcb (wedging the zebra strips) (Add to taste or desire: 2 plastic or nylon isolation rings)
- Solder the chip to the second conversion board.
- Solder the second conversion board to the pinheads of the first conversion board.
- Get the beer from the fridge, open it and celebrate your victory.
