Like the title says. The only place I’ve found in my area is taking longer than I want, and if I can find another place to do it I’ll just take it there. My area is East McKeesport/Irwin/Monroeville type stuff. ---

I have a EPROM chip waiting to be installed on my ECU, but I need the stock chip de-soldered/removed, and the socket soldered in. Sorry about that. ---

I thought so, too. I called TV repair shops, computer repair places, appliance repair places, anything/anyone I thought would be able to do a little soldering, and no one will touch it. I don’t mind driving to Greensburg, as long as I can drop it off sometime in the morning and have it back the same day. It’s only a 28-pin connector. I’m no soldering expert, but it can’t take that long, can it? ---

shouldnt be all that hard. You could _probably_ do it yourself if you are familiar with the process, but I wouldnt recommend it. I know a kid that bought one for his Prelude, he doesnt know shit about cars. Him and his dumbass brother tried to do it themselves even after I told them not to, and he ended up fucking a bunch of shit up… ---

Well, if I bought one, it’d sit in my closet. I think this is the first thing I’ve had to get soldered, ever. If I ever need one, I’ll get one, but at the moment I have no real use for it. If I tried to put that socket in, I’d mess something or other up. ---

Thanks for the help guys, but today I found out that a local DSM guy can socket it for me. He’s some sort of electronics technician, and put his EPROM in, so tomorrow it should be done.
