I purchased a set of boards and power supply to make a Deskpro XL up and running. Problem is: the processor 486 card has a pin contact burnt out, white ZIF with lever.

Good so far but few things that is kept me to do so, I could not find bare socket or a junk 486 board to rob the socket from. I do not want to buy a good one just for the socket to fix this.

If have junk boards to give away, PM me on this?

Help? Cheers,

I have PGA sockets I could send you. They are just 169 pin and not ZIF. I use them to replace broken ZIF sockets just fine.
