    Well a lot to look at. Didn't see the exact one I have but the last 
reference is what I have exactly and he never got it done it seems. But 
for sure you must take the motherboard out to remove the screws and get 
at the junction with the chip.

    It looks like a deep winter job when I have nothing better to do.
