..the "new" Furore chips come with 50% (or more) failure. I've seen 2 new Furore chips being bad in a row so I had to install a 3rd one which worked.There are very few places capable of replacing 200+ pin surface mounted chip. Tampa Philips service center was able to do it but they were closed long time ago. In any case, the Furore can't be replaced in your local repair shop, unless they have the right equipment and skills to do it without damaging the board and the new chip.
