Thanks, bookmarked FFR. But I swore, after putting a hack into a PS2 once that I would never get involved with pin lifting again. Only with a couple layers of plumbers teflon tape wedged under the lifted pin was it possible to stick a piece of kynar to it without resoldering it to the board. But that stuff needs some sort of pressure sensitive glue, I had a hell of a time keeping it in place long enough to do the joint. There may have been something suitable available, but Weston WV might as well be a burb of Ulan Bator in terms of getting it here. I did try some paper tape from the band aid shelf at CVS, but couldn't get the tools to let go of it once placed.
