You see how the computer kinda has a wedge shape to it?  Well, we used to
call PCM's such as yours "wheel chocks" or "door stops".  Don't mean to make
fun of your unfortunate situation, but what can I say...  better get out
your [de]soldering station.  BTW-  This problem cost a company I used to
work for a LOT of money until some problems were resolved... if that makes
you feel any better.
