I'll check and see
This was posted over at the KLOV forums regarding my problem:

Yes, but knowing what I need to check and knowing how to check it are two different things. I'm kind of at a standstill here as I don't know if I can fix this myself or not.
Spyridon:
Haven't made any progress in getting this working, so I thought I would at least get started on replacing the overlay.
Came off easier that I expected. Just 4 screws holding it in place
The old Fire Fox overlay peeled right off with no effort
I guess I'll hang on to this. Don't expect to ever get a Fire Fox, but this overlay could be reused if needed
Looks like the white backing on most of the overlay stayed in place. I'll get the drill with the wire wheel attachment out and strip this right off. After that I'll hit it with a new coat of paint before applying the new overlay.

Very true. The best way I can think of on those chips is to order some spares. Desolder the ones in there, put in some good sockets, and swap them with the new ones. See what happens. If you want to now you can swap the X and Y to see if the problem switches to the other one.
