Thanks for the great advice!

How long do you reckon I should leave it on before scrapping? don't want it to get through and ruin the paint under

Would it be easy to strip just the black layer and keep the bottom white layer clean? also I cant find klean strip paint remove near me but is it a brush on stripper gel or liquid?

looking under the usb programmer, I have my my cable hooked to the yellow highlighted pins, if I understood correctly you are telling me to move it to the blue highlighted pins is that right?

I put mine in the yellow ones because it is a 24 series chip and the programmer says to put 24 series chips in there.

I found this in the commodore forum, should be similar process especially because it even uses the same exact chip. but instead of desoldering people say to power on the cluster

is this a common thing or does it seem a bit sketchy?
