Acetone or nail polish remover which contains acetone. Soak a cotton ball with the stuff and let it sit on the Super Glue for a little bit. It will soften the glue, then you can wipe off the softened glue with the cotton ball. If you're going to re-glue, wipe off the acetone residue with some alcohol.

Step 1: Take credit card from wallet.
Step 2: Use credit card to purchase new CPU.
Step 3: Dispose of old CPU in trashcan.

hehehe, actually, i don't know. why are you using superglue? did you try the unlock kit from highspeedpc.com?

i can understand wanting to try it on your own, but i read a good review of the kit and was impressed with the product. it is good for dozens of chips and is totally reversible in case something goes wrong. good instructions too, and only $12 shipped.
