Are we talking player here ? I hope so.
I was one of the first to do the sound mod for the AJB, so I could really
fancy this one !!
Having removed many surface mount chips before (don't ask !!), provided you
don't intend
to re-use the chip an easy way is to cut the pins with a scalpel (or
equivalent very
sharp knife) and then remove what remains with a solder sucker. Should leave
a reasonable
surface for soldering the new part. Trying to unsolder every pin would be a
nightmare.

Excellent work.

This mod should save a lot of battery power. Could you post the results
when you get round to doing a test?

I can't wait for the details on how to do this mod. I hope it isn't too
hard to do, or to get the part.

Stu.
