...replacing Gp2x Soc?

[quadomatic]

Ummm...this is probably a really stupid question to ask, but if the MagicEyes chip on the Wiz is similar enough as far as pinout, would it be possible to desolder the SoC on the GP2X and replace it with the same SoC that's in the Wiz, or another SoC that's more powerful but has the same SoC?

Please don't hurt me...

no

No as each SoC is different enough to make it incompatible even if it has the same number of pins.

thank you for the kind explanation all

Not going to be mean but for one you kind of answered yourself seeing as a SOC can't be more powerful and have "the same Soc". Also if it was that easy I'm sure most would have already done so as the Soc can't cost that much.

Still would be nice if you could...

you'd need some pretty good soldering skills too!

Lookup the definition "BGA" and then find a soldering iron that would work with it
