I had a nightmare scenario happen earlier while trying to install the LM308N into my Mouse kit. I guess the angle wasn't right and pin #1 bent 90 degrees. When attempting to fix it, the pin snapped off entirely. I'm a little bit bummed about this but it's not too much to order another chip. My question, though, is whether or not the chip I have can be salvaged in any way? I'm in no way adverse to just ordering another chip (or two, just to be safe since I've apparently got gorilla hands) but just figure I'd ask around before putting in an order.
Thanks in taking the time to read.
