Hi, charudatt

never apologise ... I really laughed from that !!! This is one of the favourite frenchies games : humour !!!

You're right : reading is less and less easy ... for that I use a magnifier lens and look at markings under a put aside light source.

Seems only pro's have to deal with such chips : look at recent chips ... It's difficult to find anything else than SMD
