I recall reading about re-seating the socketed CPU in the SliMP3. Apparently the contacts can oxidize.
You probably have to pop it out with an extraction tool, lightly polish the contacts with something (I have a fibreglass "pen" which is for things like this) then re-insert it. Perhaps just extracting it and reinserting it might be enough. Since I don't have a SliMP3 and I'm not sure what the socketed chip looks like, I don't know if the contacts are too delicate for cleaning this way, but I'm basing this on other socketed chips I've seen like Zilog CPU chips and BIOS chips in motherboards. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51179 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
