Hey all,

So I tried to replace the 2x PS/2 ports on my Socket 5 "AT" motherboard with one AT keyboard connector, as it has (had?) footprints for both (the PS/2 ports were an optional feature). Now, the BIOS won't detect the keyboard, and they keyboard doesn't light up.

I think I messed up the 5-pin DIN solder points when drilling them out. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

photos?

dilling out vias? wouldn't you just suck out the old solder? I'm confused.

Don't have a solder sucker that actually works.
