I removed my chip from the M1a with a xacto screw driver.. the smallest size.Gently pried up one corner just a little.Then gently pried the opposite corner JUST a little.I MEAN JUST A LITTLE BIT!!!Eventually the whole chip came out with the pins intact. It's important that it comes out evenly straight up as possible.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.DONT JAM that chip, MAKE SURE.... MAKE &^%$ SURE that the pins are straight and should slide in.
