Re: expansion pak relocation help
Use your soldering iron and cover all the traces in a good amount of solder. Then use some needle nose pliers and grip the expansion slot. Run your solder iron along ALL of the pins that are now covered in solder , melting it while at the same time twisting back with the needle nose pliers. Should come off with no traces re-moved.MigueLLLLL wrote:so no one answered me on my other thread
