Or remove the solder from the LPC points and the pogos will seat and not move. Mine has never moved out of alignment and I'm in there all the time. Also you have to apply pressure to the correct point as you seat it and screw it down. You should hear a solid click and it should be pretty flush with the MOBO. No lifting on one side

has anyone found any photos of how to remove the solder from the lpc (i believe the lpc is the pins inside this retangle think, right?).

moistness means that you should get an old crappy circuit board and practice soldering on it to get the hang of it.  Then you could solder a chip into your board instead of using the pogopin install.

You should get yourself some "desoldering braid" from an electronics store (i.e. Radio Shack).  You simply put the braid over the LPC then head the braid with a soldering iron.  It will slowly melt the solder and catch it in the braid.  Then you quickly remove the braid and iron and the solder will come right out.  You will actually see the solder leak up into the braid.  It can be a pain if you're new to desoldering but it works quite well.

Do a Google search to see if you can find any tutorials for desoldering with braid.  You can also use a solder sucker.

Hope that helps.
