Title: Ramsey 7
Post by: Xand on July 24, 2003, 05:11:14 PM

Does anyone know if I could unsolder this from my dead 4000 motherboard and use it in my 3000?

IIRC, arent A4000s all surface mount, and A3000s not?

AFAIK it should work, as long as you can get it off the A4000 unharmed.

Getting it off the 4000 shouldn't be a problem. I work with a lot of electrical engineers who seem to think anything related to (un)soldering is great fun.

Yes.  The QFP (Are they TQFP's?) will need a carrier of some sort to fit the PLCC socket in the A3k.
