This is the area you will be working with. This is the LPC port that you will be soldering the pin header to. As you can see the holes are clean and ready to go. Only older machines have solder in these holes (v1.0 - v1.1), all the newer machines are all unfilled. To remove solder from filled holes - simply add flux, put some fresh solder on each hole and heat it up a little them simply use some solder braid to remove. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes.
 

 
Now you will need to remove the mainboard. First unplug all the connectors from the motherboard. The diagram illustrates this just to give you a little confidence. Note the picture is that of a v1.0. The v1.2 - v1.5 looks a little different but its pretty much the same process.


 

First place the pin header into the LPC port as demonstrated below.



Turn the board over to solder. The diagram clearly shows how simple and clean this procedure actually is. Even if you take your time you'd be very slow if it took longer than a minute. We recommend you use flux for a nice even flow of solder.
