[QUOTE="Charles, post: 253586, member: 103"] I've never taped a single one. I always just loop the switch cable back under the edge of the plastic PCM case and draw it up tight against the chip. But my 550 doesn't have [i]anything[/i] holding the chip in for over a year now. No tape, no cable, nothing. IME, the biggest variable is how much material you take off of the PCB in the PCM. People that sand the bejesus out of it always have chip problems because it's too loose of a fit. If you take juuuuust enough to get down to the "tinning" on the pins and STOP, the chip will fit so snugly that [i]nothing[/i] is required. If you blast them down to full copper everywhere, then there's really nothing that can make it sit still anymore. .02 [/QUOTE]
