Even clones are delivered with a bios.

It is a rebuild of one of the pads that has lifted.

You do realise that the pad is not just connected at one point but most go through the multi layer pCB and are connected to the other side of the board. if the pad is a through hole then the connection may be made to the bottom where you linked it but not to the top. You need to find out where it emerges ate the opposite side of the board and link it with a wire.

I wouldn't get smart.., not if you actualyl want to get helped. Remember, we arn't the ones that cant get a duo installed.

If the image i posted earlier is indicitive of your soldering skills, i'd quiet down.

Try to remember this, our capacity to help is limited, we're all doing this out of the goodness or our very large hearts, and you're just as capable to look for waveform and voltage readings off the respective LPC points as we are.

I have read about someone that had a broken via (from top to bottom side) of one of the LAD lines...

use a multimeter to check connectivity from top to bottom side...

you can test your LFRAME soldering by connecting it to GND and remove the chip... and then you shuld get a FRAG.

and if you think your chip is bad... borrow a friends chip to test..

re-do the whole re-build because the wiring asthetics weren't up to stratch....and now "advice" that the board is a multi-layer PCB with link thru pads.......

Hmm lets see, you did damage doing the rebuild, Your repair of it is shoddy at best, your soldring ability is poor, you didn't know the PCB was multi layer and then make sarcastic comments as if to say it not. You ask for more technical info such as measurements when you can not even do the manual install part.
Hard fact is you need to let someone that knows what they are doing install this. Lots of the people who have tried to help you here (The same one s you are now being clever with) have hundreds of installs under theirs belts all working.
Can't see you getting any more help now.

Hi all, just to let you know that it wasn't my "bad soldering" it was the chip itself, faulty... got the replacement one today, plugged it straight in and it worked first go !!!

Just for your information.

Like I told you i the 1st place.....Anyways if you don't want the other chip
l'll take it (I'm pretty sure it either the switch on it or the female pinheader you solder to it isn't making good connection)

Well it would be . 5 weeks to get another chip you ought to complain to the Postman
