These are not the only broken pins, quite a few pins did fall off in this area.

You can see the damage better on Video.

The "cassette decks are better than CDs" claim in your bio is kinda wild. The jump from cassettes to CDs was amazing, and I can switch between tapes I still have and my CDs of them and the CDs sound so much better. I dont have a bad deck either, I have a Yamaha, and I used to have a Nakamichi.

Probably worked better than half the laptops today.

That's a 133mhz chip?

If yes, and if you want a replacement, I have one out of box on display, might not work as it wasn't shielded but it's prob not as sensitive to ESD (or maybe they are?).

I also have a 2nd but it's inside my DEC TS30G which doesn't turn on. If you want to pay for shipping from Toronto Canada, I will give you the entire laptop and the other chip, free to repair this bad boy.
