Yep, it's a good idea. Bend pin 8 up and make sure it doesn't have contact with the socket, then connect it to pin 32 or 25. (Both VDD) > >>Correct. It is most likely the cause.

That works well as a continuity tester too - if two points are connected the resistance will be 0.00 ohm. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
