- Phase A: Deploy new iprog alongside old with compatibility adapters.
- Phase B: Switch traffic based on health/metrics; rollback plan ready.
- Component damage: Use a lower temperature profile or adjust the heating time to prevent component damage.
- Solder bridging: Use a solder wick or a desoldering station to remove excess solder.
- PCB damage: Use a lower temperature profile or adjust the heating time to prevent PCB damage.
