Let the soldering begin

That solder iron hot yet ? Ok well first thing we’re going to want to do is get power to our NAND chip. Pin 14 needs 5v, pin 7 is ground (refer to diagram). Now the German fella spliced into his cable for this power, but what I did is open up the DVD-Rom (You might as well do it now, you’ll need it open later), and you’ll see the power pins right where the connector plugs in. This is good for me, no cutting of wires plus I plan to place this chip inside the DVD-Rom and just run the wires out.

You can clearly see the power coming in, but you might want to check the voltages just to be sure.

So we have our power source, lets prepare our chip. Break it out of its package and you should see on the back a diagram that looks like the one above in our schematic. It’s always good to use a socket for your IC, but Radio shack didn’t have a 14 pin, so I felt I needed to cut more things in this project so I decided to whip out this old ISA NIC card I had and whip out the dremel and have a little fun with it.

Notice 1 missing IC socket. I first was desoldering in but this was much more fun.

Now we have a IC Socket, lets slap the chip in and wire up our power pins.

The Socket I stole out was a little big (20 pin socket) but hey it’ll work…

This is the guts of our LG.
