Same problem here, my M57SLI has been at the computer shop for over one
week awaiting the modification.
They say the socket that I got is wrong, (PLCC32).
Will the SST 49LF040 be wrong too.
The BIOS chip is a tiny chip soldered on long legs, where the factory
chip was.
Is the modification now wrong?
