Replacing it is easy if you know what you're doing. You also need to realize what made it burn up in the 1st place.
Might be cheaper to replace the board.
 
Ok cool might buy the motherboard or get it replaced... some banking software i have is locked to that motherboard.. though

I can solder took electronics soldering in high school we made our own pcbs with draino bath machine that worked better than the expensive one we had donated from fairchild semiconductor.

but i dont have many special tools like a heatgun and microscope right now. oir i might find a guy around here with the tools i dont know..

the os on the SDD is like tied to that montherboard i think and i dont have the KEY i got it from a school awhile back with some mac minis.
