resoldering a pin on a pentium cpu??
I've got a socket 370 PIII chipset that had one of the pin separate.
Anyone here had experience in re-attaching these. The break is clean( the copper trace on the chipset itself is visible and exposed.) and the pin has a bit of the board resin on the tip so it should be possible to re-attach it. Just concerned about applying a solder tip to the chip itself.(I do have a range of irons, from 20 watts up to 150.) Or is there a cement that could be used? Oddly enough the chip seemed to work when it was swapped out to another tower though I didn't run any heavy load on the system to checck it out.(Booted up just fine with bios correctly identifying the chip with no beeps or hangs.) If it's not advisible to try soldering I suppose it might work to manually drop the pin in the correct hole in the socket and put the chipset with enough pressure to make contact and lock it in place with ziff latching lever. Any advice is greatly appreciated. |

Looks like you were lucky-- most chipsets have many duplicate power
pins-- your broken pin is likely one of those. It should work fine as there's likely at least five other similar pins. |

This particular chipset is a Pentium PIII but doesn't have any identifying info on it to tell what model or gen it is. ( It is a 800mhz, that from the bios info on boot up, but no serial # there either.) Thanks again. Everything you ever wanted to know about the P3 (and a hell of a lot more): ftp://download.intel.com/design/Pent...s/24526408.pdf Pinout begins on pg. 68 |
