All of the pins are suppost to be there. You must have gotten a faulty socket.

yea, i spoke with jeff and he said the same thing. He is sending me a new socket. So now i get to go back to the TV repair shop and ask them to redo it with the right socket.

The sockets I've seen Jeff supply really shouldn't be used in a car. They aren't rated for use in equipment subject to vibration like you find in automotive applications and the EPROM can work it's way out of the socket. In practice I've not heard of anyone's chip popping out but I don't want the liability so I recommend people use machine pin sockets that are qualified for this type of use.
