The "template" which you insert between the MMU chip and its socket probably bent some of the socket's connectors, so that they no longer make a reliable connection to the chip. If this really is your problem, you can fix it by taking a piece of wire, bending it to make a hook, and using the hook to pull the connectors back into the proper shape. (I had a similar problem once, and that fixed it.) -- "If I seem insensitive to what you're going through, keep in mind that's the way I am." -- Mr. Spock
