Hi I recently bought a teensy 3.1 and while soldering the headers some solder got on the processor pins.
I am not really sure what to do about this, If i need a replacement would it be possible to get teensy with the headers pre-soldered, if i need a replacement?

Ugh, well I am pretty sure this is not in a fixable state. I don't feel like hunting down a hacker space to simply have the headers installed. I'll just go check out ebay, thank you for the quick reply.

Re: messed soldering teensy 3.1 headers
Yikes! It looks like all the pins on one side are bridged. You could probably clean that up with some solder-wick or a solder-sucker. Work a small section at a time and give it a chance to cool off a bit every few pins so you don't overheat the processor.
I just checked the PJRC store and they do have a pre-soldered Teensy 3.1: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy31_pins.html
