I am currently getting ready to work on my Q*Bert cabinet due to video issues. I read a post about pulling and cleaning the chip's legs. Is there any special method to this or are they connected the same way as in a computer (i.e. without solder)? Just want to be sure before I start working. Thanks
 
The chips whose legs you need to clean are socketed, there is a special extraction tool but it is not necessary if you are very careful. Soldered in legs usually do not tarnish at the connection site unless the solder joint is cracked.
