<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Kev,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just replaced one last month, it was fairly
simple since</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it was one of the corner pins. I took my soldering
iron and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>melted the plastic around the broken pin, in
effect, digging</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>an area out around the pin. I cleaned up the pin
with an</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>exacto blade then soldered an IC leg to the pin.
Once that's</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>done place an IC socket or 40 pin carrier onto the
plugs pins</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to protect them.</FONT></DIV>
