sorry for sounding angry, but i seem to have taken off more skin in the last few hours than memory socket solder, 3 of the fingers on my left hand have band-aids on the tips, because my solder sucker has a smooth aluminum body that gets very slippery when my hands get sweaty. i have spent a lot of time trying to take off the memory socket, and it hasn't moved a fraction of a fraction of a millimeter. it's not built like the expansion slot, which i pulled off the plastic cover and then heated the pins and pulled out with a pair of pliers. i have one of those spring loaded solder suckers that has to be cocked each time i try to suck.
i can't seem to pull off the plastic cover (i've already got the metal off) and then disconnect the pins, then plug them back into the plastic, then do a happy dance.
how has everyone else got it off? i'm tempted to simply buy a new controller and dremel off the PCB around the pins, then connect them to the back of the working controller. but i want to try to do this as cheaply as possible
how in the freak do you take off a memory card socket?!?!
