How to install

Remove the faulty NEO-BUF chip with hot air, remove the remaining solder on the PCB pads with solder braid if the surface isn't perfectly flat. Clean up the eventual flux residue with IPA or acetone. Place the NEO-BUF replacement board in the right direction (see pin 1 mark), align it precisely, solder the 4 corners using a generous amount of flux, then drag-solder all the sides. The small castellated contacts will "attract" solder by capillary action. Make sure none of the contacts are bridged.

If you decide to install the board with hot air, make sure you don't knock off the board's own chips when the solder will reflow.

Thanks

Perfect product.

Quiero dar las gracias a Furrtek por hacer posible la fabricación de estos chips, la verdad es que funcionan de maravilla en mi NeoGeo Mvs y la instalación con paciencia ha sido facil. Remarcar que este remplazo de Neo-Buf es de excelente calidad, lo recomiendo para todos y estoy bastante contento, muchas gracias!!

Fixed my MV1B

Quite difficult to install but I got there in the end :). I didn't manage to install successfully by drag soldering with a knife tip so I went with the following approach:
-Desoldered the dirty NEO-BUF patch with SnBi low melt solder and cleaned up the pads with wick.
-Placed the replacement NEO-BUF board down and held in place securely with two strips of kapton tape once aligned.
-Soldered all corners with 0.5mm 5core leaded solder and a 0.8mm chisel tip.
-Soldered vertically up the trace to the edge pushing solder in to each of the castellated edges.
-Removed bridges with 60-2-5 Chemtronics wick and re-soldered these points
-Continuity checked each point
-Fired up KoF 98 :).

Additional flux seemed to be my enemy in this job!

Perfect

Good quality board, and perfectly working. My MV1ACHX, which had a bypassed NEOFUB and reboots very frequently when using a 161 in 1 multicart, is now working flawlessly.
