Salvaging chips from battery rotten CPS2 B board

To fix another which had faulty chips

Took all five chips from this board:

And moved them here:

No particular repair log, because I already knew the receiving board fault was bad customs (overvoltage) So having all of them replaced revived it.

That is some fine soldering, what did you bridge the traces with?

Old 40 pin ATA cable wires stripped. I used the internal conductors (on 40 pin cables each wire is multi core).
