Bought a socketed computer from hyperduck, how do I change chips? What tools do I need and how do I keep from damaging anything. Does the chip pull out easily?

Get a small thin flat head screwdriver. Gently pry the chip out of the socket and gently press the new chip in. make sure all pins line up when installing the new chip.

Certain sockets also have a small lever on one side that is used to either clamp or release the chip. In this case, you simply raise the lever, and the chip can be lifted out. Make sure your socket isn't the clamping variety before you attempt to pry out the chip.
