Would anyone know where to get the ram chips on the MK3 pcb's it is a little SMD chip V52C8128K80 closest i can find on ebay is a V42C8128K60 not sure this would do the job though any advice or tips where to find some would be most appreciated,thanks.
 
I have no SMC soldering experience so i sent mine out for the repair if it was thru hole i would have went to town.
 
If you have a computer surplus/junk store nearby you can find those chips on various Sun Microsystem SBUS video modules.

If it's the SOJ ones I don't think that would be the best SMD for jumping in to surface mount soldering/desoldering. The pads on midway boards are way smaller than others for a SOJ package RAM chip so it isn't for beginners.

Removing is easy, you can just snip the legs from the body and wipe with the soldering iron or you can use some hot tweezers and lift it off the board.
 
nothing like digging up an old post. would channel mechanic be willing to repair this on a umk3 board?
