Hello Steve.

Upgrading Blade 1000 CPU chip

upgrading (=different type, higher speed) absolutely no.

replacing just the chip with one of exactly the same type/rating, maybe.

I once replaced only the cpu chip (LGA) of an UltraSPARC IIi module (501-5090). The original chip was "dead", with the replacement chip the module worked again. Replacing just the chip isn't supported by Sun (the FRU is the complete module). These cpu chips aren't available as separate parts, I bought mine on eBay under the wrong impression that the seller offered a module not the just the chip.

Please tell me if you can unmount the chip easily.

I'm in a similar situation: I have a faulty module.

I can have someone perform a failure-analysis of my cpu chip where I work.... Who knows where this silicon comes from....

That'll be fun....
