    @scottied67 has a few videos on YouTube about it. Had to do one half and then the other within a week or 2 i believe. Think it was around 200 bucks to start, before he replaced the whole thing.

    About 35-50 a chip, maybe less if they are repairing 3 or more. Or just buy your own kit for 50$ on Amazon, it's easy to do.
