Well I thought I was capable of doing the 32MB upgrade, but it appears I'm wrong. Those SMT TSOPs are damn small! I've replaced them in the past OK, but this time I'm beaten. Lifted several traces and now I've pushed some pins under the chip when trying to remove a solder bridge. Bound to lift more traces if I remove it and try again! 5 wires to CPU is too many!
Anyway I'm willing to sell this in bits or all together. Maybe it can be repaired? Be possible, but you'll probably need to run some wires to replace broken traces.
Parts I believe still work fine that may be useful to fix another GP32:
LCD screen
Case
PCB if you want to salvage anything but RAM!
I also have a spare (untouched -> bought just in case) 256Mb SDRAM if anyone else is mad enough to attempt the upgrade. It is a Micron 48LC16M16A2 - 7E.
Anyone interested?
