TF1260 extract cpu

Post by ziosante »

Hi,
I have a tf1260 with an 68LC060 and I want to upgrade with a 68060.
I tried with some plastic tools used for removing screens from smart phones, but with no luck.
How to extract the CPU? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Just a thought, is the CPU inserted into a socket or soldered to the board? I know, might seem a silly question but you never know.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

otherwise I would have talked about unsoldering not extracting

I used a flat headed screwdriver, working on each edge of the CPU one after the other by rotating it after sliding it between socket and CPU. One of the above tools is a better idea but I am far too tight fisted to pay the amounts generally asked for them.

Using a screwdriver I was able to extract the CPU but with my great regret I discovered that the CPU is not a 68060 but a 68LC060 (has a MMU but no FPU)
It shows "MC68060RC50" with 71E41J mask but is an LC :cry:

There are a lot of fakes around sadly.

Classic reprint. If you bought it on ebay, send it back.
