Thank you for the detailed information. I would like to clear up the fact of pin 18 - this has been soldered into its thru hole. I have never taken it out or replaced it nor was it ever bent and soldered to trace. I mistakenly transferred my readings from the notebook to the computer in the wrong pin order.

Pin 10 - this was the pin that was not in the thru hole and just bent up not making any contact. Now upon reading your info you mention "You don't use Pin 10 on the MB8719 (on this chassis it is grounded - you can use it, but not as the ONLY source for ground" - I am confused on this statement, you said on this chassis it is grounded but if its not connected to the board how is it grounded without being connected to pin 18 by board trace?

Question on the open dot reference.. Are you saying that the dot marked on the chip is in reference to an open (not used) leg? I was using the dot as an indicator of the pin layout on the chip - dot is at pin 18 in the manual so thats how I used it to locate pin 18 on the board.
