Hi guys,
I have two non-working PS/2 30-286 motherboards here with different faults. One of the faults MAY be because the CPU is faulty. I say may be because I really have no idea.
Anyway, I'd like to swap the CPUs over to see if it makes any difference. They are PLCC ICs. I don't have (and don't want to buy) a PLCC puller simply for this simple one-off trial which probably won't make any difference anyway.
I believe they can be prised out with careful and patient use of a tiny screwdriver.
Has anyone tried this and what is the likelyhood of success?
