agp slot replacement. ECSK7S5A

[ranger77]

Can anyone tell me if I can replace an agp slot on an ecs k7s5a with any standard agp slot off an old
motherboard? Need to fix it fast.

Nope. Not unless you're a mobo engineer or the like.

What? Replace the slot? Did you break it mechanically or what?

Doing that would mean un-soldering the old one and soldering a new one in. On a connector with that many pins, that'll take several hours, with a high risk of damaging a trace or inter-layer via.

In other words, the cost of doing that will easily exceed the $55 that buy you a new one.

This would also remove ANY possibility of RMAing the mobo.

It can be done, but the risks are great x2
