one end of the chip and then at the other end.
Alternate the ends being pried until the chip is
loose. Be careful where the screwdriver is
placed so as not to pry the socket out of the
board! (Refer to Fig. A on Figure 27).

as a spare part, or in case the clock chip needs
to be removed.

will have 32 pins. The bottom side of the
Time/Date module has 28 pins, two rows of 14
