Thank you.
I won't be doing the repair. I don't like to mess with sockets, especially on MPUs. I will send it out to be repaired.
I have a chance to trade a working DE sound board, which I no longer need, for an unused WPC-S CPU board, which I can use as a spare for my Corvette. Something nicked the Asic socket during storage. I just want to make sure the board can be repaired before I trade for a lemon.
