I have this jerry-rigged enough to have satisfaction for a bit now, by
   stashing the factory rom off a factory chip and repurposing it.
   I had a factory chip that wasn't working for me, and after my
   experience examining things, I noticed one of the leads had slightly
   bent and was in danger of shorting when not used carefully. I bent it
   back and am curious if the other board on which I thought the socket
   was broken, might work again.
   I also have some little experience now resoldering these, if I do end
   up replacing that socket.
