I removed the chip... but left the wiring to the main board attached and she fired up perfectly fine ??? possibly a dud chip ? ill have another crack at it tomorrow as its geting late now.
It is possible to have a defective/dud chip. I had a quite a bit of bad modbos and a couple of dms.

I can solder directly to the bios chip legs for points RVTQU rather than those little pads and it shouldnt cause any problems ?
should be no problems obviously. Make sure the trace goes to the actual leg tho.

Is point S or SX absolutely necessary ? is there an alt point ? none of the diagrams are very clear so i soldered it to the bottom edge of the top fuse/resistor.
