Chip holders broken, any idea how to fix the chip to the cartridge?

[Radeon89]

Hello,
I'm sorry but my english sometimes it's a little bit limited.

I try to summarize hoping to clarify your doubts.

1. I bought 1 kit of cartridges PGI-520 CLI-521 and 1 kit of PGI-525 CLI-526
2. I tried to remove a chip from one cartridge and the picture at the first post was the result.
3. I got various ideas on how to fix it and I opted for blue tack solution.
4. I bought it on ebay and in 5 days it's arrived.
5. The first approach as I said has been good but now I'm waiting to receive 2 more kits of PGI-520 CLI-521 and 2 kits of PGI-525 CLI-526.
6. When the missing kits will be arrived I'll try to use it on all the cartridges and I'll post the results.

That's all!

Is it now more clear?

Hi Radeon89

See this post by The Hat for chip swapping: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=41631#p41631

It is the same procedure as shown in the instructions for chip transfer, that I posted, but the picture taken by The Hat is much better. Using this procedure, your risk of damaging the the chip holders is minimized. Be very careful though not to damage the very thin conductors on the chip PCB.

Using this method of chip transfer, it should not be necessary to use tape, hot melt glue, or Blu-tack to secure the chip in place. But if you prefer an extra secure fixation, I think the use of Blu-tack is the easiest way to obtain this.
