<p>I removed my chip from the M1a with a xacto screw driver.. the smallest size.</p><p>Gently pried up one corner just a little.</p><p>Then gently pried the opposite corner JUST a little.</p><p>I MEAN JUST A LITTLE BIT!!!</p><p>Eventually the whole chip came out with the pins intact. It's important that it comes out evenly straight up as possible.</p><p>Also be very mindful of that corner with the notch on it... it is VERY similar to a CPU DIE with the number one pin or notched corner that should match the socket's own notched corner.</p><p>DONT JAM that chip, MAKE SURE.... MAKE &^%$ SURE that the pins are straight and should slide in.</p>
