Atmega328P Microcontroller Replacement for Arduino Board

Introducción

This is a guide on how to replace a ATMega328P microcontroller (Code: X000048) on an Arduino UNO R3 Board (Model: EL-CB-001, Code: A000066). This guide does not require any specialized skills or knowledge.

The ATMega328P processes the instructions in C from the Arduino IDE. If damaged, the code cannot be executed. Fortunately, replacing the microcontroller is a simple and uncomplicated process. Before starting the repair, please unplug the the Arduino board from the USB.
