CorebootHackingHowToSolderAPlccSocketOnYourBoard Uwe Hermann movies opensource_movies This video shows how you can desolder a soldered-on PLCC BIOS ROM chip from your board, and then solder on a PLCC socket (SMD type) instead. This is useful for recovering from a failed BIOS upgrade, and for coreboot (previously LinuxBIOS) users and developers. See <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/Soldering_a_socket_on_your_board">http://www.coreboot.org/Soldering_a_socket_on_your_board</a> for details. Note that I'm a total newbie when it comes to soldering and I still managed to do this. So there's no reason to be scared by this kind of stuff, everybody can learn how to do it. 2009 2009 coreboot; linuxbios; bios; rom; chip; plcc; smd; smt; pcb; solder; flux; wick; desolder; station; hot; air; gun; socket; hacks http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/ 2009-03-30 04:18:36 2009-03-30 04:17:17 uwe@hermann-uwe.de sound color http://www.hermann-uwe.de 2009-03-30 04:30:22 Uwe Hermann
