@bearer said in FAN1 suddenly stop working:

Alternatively if you don't have hot air and don't mind being a bit of a savage ... you might be able to put a blob of solder on a sufficiently tip and just cover the whole part you want to remove with the blob of molten solder and when you lift the iron the part will stick to the surface tension of the solder blob.

Thank you for the advice. As I do not have a hot air gun, I may as well use this technique.

If the blob trick doesn't work, you can crank the savage factor up to 11 and try literally "decapitating" the poor little SOT23

I hope I don't have to get to that point. But let's see how it goes.
