Here you go:ziosante wrote: 16 Sep 2022 07:52 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.

good, I'll try this way making attention do do not break the cpulilwashu wrote: 16 Sep 2022 13:32 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.
Classic reprint. If you bought it on ebay, send it back.ziosante wrote: 16 Sep 2022 17:32 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:
