Diagnosing bad socket job

[jonnyb]

I cooked my smec yesterday (stupid non-color coded aftermarket battery wires) so last night I socketed my only spare smec, but it doesn't work

I put it in the car and tested it before I socketed it, and it worked, so I know it was good before I removed the stock chip and added the socket. I don't see any cut or scraped traces and the chip seemed to come out clean and really easy.

Does anyone know how to diagnose where I may have screwed up? I checked for continuity from the bottom of the board to the top of the pins in the socket and each pin seemed fine. Other than that, I don't know what else to check.

I really need a SMEC for SDAC so any help would be greatly appreciated (including offers to bring a known good socketed smec to sdac so that I can buy or borrow it).

Thanks,

Jon
