(please excuse my lack of puntuation)(i type what i think not how i should type it)
Hey guys i looked throught the forum and could not find my answer so I decided to post. I am pretty new at this so please be forgiveing.
I bought what my friend says is a x3 chip he pulled a trace out of his mobo thus ruining his box along with the pin header. I bought the chip from him thinking I could pull off a wire install but I have only suceeded in fraggs and a broken phone(long story) so then I decided that my soldering skills are not the best in the world but I figer that can be the only thing I am doing wrong I have inspected all my solder points and they do not apear to be crossing any traces and I am certain that I have not ruined the traces. So I am takeing what I think is the next logical step and that is to buy a pin header and try to install it that way. which brings meto my question I can only find a 12 point pin header and the chip included a 16 point so i want to know can I use the 12 point succesfully or am i going to have track down a 16 point some how?
