cleaning a flaky ZIF socket?

Dear Mightyohm:
--I am afraid BAW has you there. He did say to use hot glue. By the way, did you notice his "middle finger to the world" comment at the bottom of the post:

"I delete PMs unread. If you have something to say, say it in public. I love the sound of a "you are not helpful" whining in the morning."

He puts this quote in all of his posts. He must have been getting a lot of PMs formerly. No doubt due to his charitable attitude. The statement does not scan very well. To quote Mark Twain "it has a kind of simpering, monkey with a parasol gait to it". It seem to be referring to a "whining", but surely he must mean a "whine". That way his misanthropic utterance would merely be clumsy, instead of clumsy and ungrammatical. Best Regards

I don't blame BAW for his signature. On another forum I used to get many annoying PMs from people asking for help. I don't mind helping people but I don't do it via private message because other people can't: benefit from my replies, suggest other things or correct me if I'm wrong. It's not so bad round here but I always tell people to start a thread if the PM me for help.

SgtRock:
Dear Hero999:
--I take your point. But do you not agree that. "I delete PMs unread" or "Please to not send PMs" would cover the situtation adequately. Why include an ungrammatical and hostile statement with every post.

--I only PM other members, if they request it, and I do not really want people to send me unsolicited and or hostile PMs, but I do not think I am going to call anyone a whiner in advance, just in case.
Best Regards

Hey guys can we stick to ZIF sockets? opinions tug-war is good but personal bashing is not constructive. Don't judge someone with your feelings unless you want to bed him/her.

Uncle Vernon:
I'm surprised at the need for hot glue in BAW's solution, like he and Jeff I've experienced similar issues, but found that if the regular socket below the ZIF was a quality machined item, the force needed to dislodge the ZIP was substantial. Yeah I know. two expensive sockets, but I figure if you only get 80 odd years on the planet the least amount of that time you spend redoing repairs the better.
