First and most likely problem is that a pin either
a. missed the socket and is sticking out -- you can see this.
b. a pin tucked under the rom -- you can't see this.

the only way to handle case b is to CAREFULLY remove the roms
1 at a time, and check them.  Of course, there is a slight probability
that you will fold a pin under while doing this, so its a bit frustrating.

Also, are you really sure the roms are in the correct order?

Finally, you may have a malfuction, that tos1.1 didn't stress.

good luck
