As someone who usual not codes, but helps finding issues. This is
my personal opinion from reading through this thread:
Dennis got told fix it yourself, after he has not provided any help
in getting down to the issue. I haven't seen in one of his email
what exact chip on what exact motherboard doesn't work. He also grossly
overstated the amount of people being affected by it.
