For anyone who has the guts to try, this is how I did it, two times succesfully:
To remove the old dac first add solder on both sides of the dac. Next heat up one side and carefully pull up the dac a little. Do the same on the other side and so on until you can remove the dac. Do not use force, that will destroy the pads on the motherboard. When the dac is removed, clean the pads with solder wick (see picture). Place the new dac exactly on the motherboard and when in place ad some solder on one or two pinns at one side. Now take a close look to be sure the dac is in place. If so, ad solder on both sides of the dac. It doesn't matter if the solder is shorten all pinns. Now remove the solder between the pinns with the Solder Wick. If done check and double check that everything is ok and that there is no connection between the pinns. Also be carefull not to heaten up the dac too much! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: sb1748ke.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1107| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Amauta ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amauta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22442 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
