Removing the Cartridge Reader
-
To remove the cartridge reader look for 4 solder joints, 2 on each side of the reader (see image).
-
Apply heat to them with a soldering iron to melt the solder and take out the reader. Use a spudger to lift the reader out of the board as you apply heat.
-
You can apply some solder flux or even some new solder wire to form an alloy between the old and new metals, this would ease the task.
