Color me shocked! 😳 I was removing this TMS2532A from a socket and the lid came off! WTF! The chip is ruined now sadly... Luckily I had just burned it, so it isn’t some rare and long lost ROM.

@elektronaut1 I heard once the die is exposed, it’s not going to work due to contamination of moisture and dust. Luckily I have a tube of these EPROM so I grabbed another.

@3DsTechLab I worry about that happening to the long chips when they are really stuck in the socket!
