Also they said on AO wiki that it could be melted out with a soldering iron as well....so I would agree, and put the region free mobo responsibility on the customer.

Well for the record, I have no problem modifying mine.

werejag did a motherboard group buy where he modded them all for region free, so I'm covered on the region free front.
While I'm totally comfortable burning mine out with a soldering iron, or handling an exacto, if you've done this a dozen times maybe you could post some details about your preferred method?
yeah the dremel has all sorts of precision bits that work great.

@werejag could you share which exact bit you used ?
As @Mitsurugi-w pointed out, there are a lot of bits

Performed "surgery" on my mobo as well...
I'm going to just go ahead and start referring to this as "the werejag method" because I did it with a Dremel tool using the bit 191 as described.
Sure it was a little big, but I hit it from the side vertically, and slid the tip forward/upward slowly, cutting/eating away the plastic tab and metal pins at the same time.

So just to clarify, the pins that make up the region "protection" tabs are not connected to/needed for anything?Performed "surgery" on my mobo as well...
