Hi Michael,
I few thoughts of the top of my head.
First I hesitate to probe unless with a high impedance lead.
I may put a 50k resistor on the lead just in case, to check pin
voltages.
For dc bias, I look first for the output voltage.
If it approximates vcc, I look to confirm that the plus input is
slightly higher than the negative.
I would look at the resistive biasing and see if the voltages look like
they should. I have ever pulled a chip by cutting off the pins as
close to the body as possible.
Then with a length of pin, I can heat it up good with and iron and pull
it out.
Then suck the rest, replace with socket.
Hope this helps
Duane
