While cannot answer the question directly I want to make some side
notes:

The DS10 mainboard has a quite of number of ball-grid mounted chips
on them. These are reasonably sensitive to flexing of the PCB they are
mounted on. I have removed EV6 chips from a number of scrap boards and
doing so is *not* an easy task without the proper tools, it takes quite
some force. I don't think DS10 has a ZIF socket (the scrap boards were
from an ES40 BTW).

All in all I don't advise doing this. At least I value my own DS10 too
much for such an experiment ;-)
