Atmega328P Microcontroller Replacement for Arduino Board

ID: 157813

Description: This is a guide on how to replace a ATMega328P...

Steps:

1. Place the Arduino UNO R3 board on a flat clean surface.

2. On the right side of board, position a nylon spudger in between the microcontroller and the dip socket, and gently lift upwards to pry it out.
3. The bottom of the microcontroller can be scratched if not done carefully. Do not use a metal tool for this step.

4. Repeat the same process on the other side.
5. Lift both sides evenly to prevent any damage to the pins.

6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the microcontroller is loose enough to remove out of the socket.

7. Remove replacement microcontroller out of packaging.

8. If needed, straighten the pins of the replacement microcontroller and place it directly over the dip socket.
9. Make sure the notch on the side of the microcontroller is facing the right, matching the white lines on the board.

10. Gently press the microcontroller into the dip socket
