I'm skeptical as to whether this can really be done in 10 mins. Finding the right chip can take a good while and especially tracing the bus you need to other chips. And the fact the traces were accessible with the thing semi-assembled is incredibly lucky, not to mention how he was able to find a "schematic" of the motherboard. I'd say an hour to pull this off is a minimum.
