1st) Remove the chip

The chip is removed and now we need to find the same chip from another motherboard.

Flux is place around the new chip in order to help with the soldering. The idea is to brush the soldering iron along the pins to and fro along the pins until the flux has evaporated. however be careful, the image below shows what you need to avoid.

The contacts need to be free of solder so the pins cant short. Use the soldering iron to brush away excess solder from the joints.

The old chip is removed. The new chip is now in place.

*A similar chip was almost used but had the incorrect version number on the chip.
