scortch the board as in... ?

i know it will require someskill, but for the VIA's all i need is patience and precision. i have a flux pen etc, so it shouldnt be so hard this time around. i do have a scrap board i can practise on though.

can you direct me to a concise instruction on how to do a romeo mod? is it just the one wire ? in the "post your pics here" thread, most of the romeo fixes seemed to have 2?
