| [* black] Next you will install the IC socket, also known as a CPU socket. IC sockets use a mechanical connection to connect a processor to a printed circuit board. This allows the processor to be easily replaced without the risk of damage associated with soldering processors directly to a circuit board. | |
| [* black] Stick the eight leads of the IC socket through the holes in the rectangle marked IC1. Make sure that the semi-circle on the top of the socket lines up with the semi-circle printed on the edge of the rectangle on the circuit board. | |
| - | [* black] Turn the board over and solder the eight leads of the IC socket to the board. |
| + | [* black] Turn the board over and solder the eight leads of the IC socket to the board. Similar to soldering the buttons, there is no need to trim any excess wire. |
