I guess if there talking about sending you a bios chip then then it is socketed.

It might have walked out of the socket.
Give it a good push down in to the socket.

A half year ago I had Asus A8N VM CSM where the network didn't work properly and every now and then I got into operating system. After I got it back from RMA it worked fine, but a few months ago I sold it... it was a nice mobo with DVI and Sub15 onboard VGA :) Not a lot small µATX mobos have DVI output...
