But when you remove the old stuff from ECM board get a good solder sucker, about $10 at Radio shack.

Some guys say you have to scrape off clear coating on board but I have always just heated one prong at a time then pulled them out. Now heat up each hole again and solder sucked them down one side then the other. If you get good at it the new dip or ? will drop right in. Sometimes theres a cpuple that are a problem and when your socket is in most clear holes you just heat the problem ons and it falls in. Then a touch of solder on each prong.
