Sorry pic isn't nice & clear,cell pic.Besides the broken zif socket the board is perfectly fine.
On pc forums they just say get a new mobo,which yeah that would be nice,quick & easy way out.But I like to learn & want to fix this.I know a regular solder iron won't fit this job.
What do I need?I bought a circuit pin to draw in what came out with the ziff socket.
What happened was the latch broke & I cut a old debit card down to fit & lock the ribbon cable in the zif socket.It worked a good while.Till I was putting back together one day while mobo was pretty warm.I pushed the card in just a lil to hard & the whole zif slid off like a hot knife to cold butter.Tried to use a regular iron & melted the zif,base that holds the solder tip touched it
.Didn't sweat/burn the board though thank god
Thanks to all for helping me.I'm use to soldering bigger stuff like dc jacks etc.Want to increase my skills,this is my new challenge.
Oh yeah I think I found a zif socket replacement,it is the same type.Going to call them & ask if its a 26 pin if so I got a exact match!
