VitaminH, I do not think that it is possible for the normal DIY'er to replace the IC. You better have the right tools to solder an IC to a logic board, a good magnifier and a very steady hand to even try to attempt this. You better be a pro at soldering....the repercussions would be a logic board that turned into a pretty paper weight.
