ACTO knife, carefully cut the trace connecting to pin 4 of the Serial EEPROM device (see Figure
3.16).Anywhere along the trace between the pin and the via on the left (the gold pad with the hole)
is suitable. Be sure to cut completely through the trace. It is okay to dig a little “ditch” into the circuit
board to ensure that the trace has been totally cut; just be careful to not go all the way through
the board.
If your circuit board has the smaller five-pin SOT23 package Serial EEPROM, the trace to cut is
still in the same location as described here.
