Jay, I see you already have a good tip in another reply, but here are a few more thoughts. Sometimes (depending on the exact failure mode), you can 'bridge' a chip by using a good chip and just sliding it down over the pins of one that is soldered onto the board. This puts the entire chip in parallel with the one on the board, and given the right failure mode, can cause it to 'take over', and work fine. You don't want to leave it there, but for testing purposes it's fine. Calling CBM might be a way to go, though I don't know who might be the best to call there. I'll try to find out from our local repair people, what the layout is. Good luck! -larry
