-
- The SuperBuster chips of A3000/A3000T systems use a PLCC package. These chips
- are the ones that has the pins on all four sides. There is a special tool
- for removing these chips correctly. I have seen the PLCC chip pullers sell
- for around 10 bucks or so.
-
- I have heard of people using a screw driver to do it, but sometimes these
- chips are hard to get out with the tool, let alone trying to hack it out, and
- replacing a broken PLCC socket will be expensive.
