You should be able to if you use a low powered solder iron, the heat might damage the cpu. Then again, that doesnt make sense because the cpu puts out 60+ watts of heat whereas the solder iron shouldnt put out that much. I do not know, Im just speculating...even if it goes wrong, you get a spiffy keychain ;)

i was able to solder a very tiny lead on a elenco portable lab (DeVry people will know what that is :D ) , it was about the size of the L1 bridges, with a standard sears 40watt iron. but i'm really good with it so, good luck.

To make the tip of the iron smaller, tie (w/ some wire or something) a small sewing needle onto the tip of your iron!
