There would one person in the world that stuff would not work for and that's me.

chipquik is WORTH in money alone, good profit making. Saved so much effort many times. Just 2mm to 3mm chunk is enough to do a typical IC up to 100 pins.
With hot air I can have that PLCC32 chip off in 30 seconds. I can test to ensure the contents is not damaged and put it back on in another minute. A dremel is far below the useful line here.
severach you sound as if you have some nice hot air kit
If you dont mind what is it?

Next time i run the board I will put up a photo of the power bios page, I cant find any reference to disabling ACPI

You won't and end up in frustration. What I suggest is open up the hardware property then device manager. Open the item that has yellow icon (!) that has ACPI item and go to: details tab, write down the first string, ignore the rest of gibberish. Google with this to find out what it is for, then download driver from the maker's site for that computer and direct & detect downloaded driver. This what I did several times to several computers.

Have ripped off PLCC32 and replaced it with a socket whle I await another programmed chip to arrive
Er...does anyone forsee any problems with this?
Only that it introduces another variable, if the replacement chip doesn't work
If you still have the remains of the old chip, I suggest removing its AMI sticker and making a note of what the chip itself was, in case of compatibility problems
Or did the replacement chip vendor ask for those details ? (I'd be more confident of their ability, if they did)
better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

with hot air i'd be in debt... they are nice if you have the $$$...
chipquick is like maybe $8 last i saw... the importation costs (shipping, taxes, etc.) must be that high?
Selling price is usually geared to what the market will bear, rather than the cost of production and logistics
As an aside, there's a political campaign going on in Australia now, with vested interests representing the big local retailers trying to persuade the government to introduce taxes, to make it less attractive for Australians to buy via the Internet
That would inevitably introduce yet another layer of bureaucracy, which ultimately has to be paid for by the consumer
Ho hum... of course the board wont start at all now musta cooked the chip will wait until I get new chip.......
