As far as I know, "Cold Soldering" is just like normal
soldering just the solder used has a much lower
melting point than normal solder, thus you can use a
tempreture controlled soldering iron to do the
soldering at much lower tempretures. This is used in
situations where the object being soldered is
tempreture-sensitive (I will ask a lecurer at uni if I
am correct here!).
Anyhow, is this chip surface mounted? if so have this
teche' who is doing your soldering to remove all the
old solder, and then resolder it with his own. The
only problem is to get all the new solder flowing
around the pin's correctly, but if he has soldered it
before I'm sure he can do this.
