dose anyone no of a website in the UK that sells RS2004FS chips cheep.

Also has anyone got any tips on how to remove and replace the chip using just a 15w soldering iron

Would it be easiest if i cut through all the legs, removed the chip then de solderd all the legs

i normally cut all the legs of with a very fine nose pliers. desolder the remaining legs and cleanup and then resolder the chip. iv'e done quite a few LA's like that - not too sure about the rs though, but it should work. I've also got a v12 that needs a new rs so am contemplating doing it as well

Ive replaced them before and havent had a few legs quite soldered altogether and so all that happened was there was absolutely no drive activity at all but the ps2 still booted fine, I imagine that it might do the same thing completly removed
