changed when I replaced the chip.

Did you check to ensure that when you replaced the chip all the
continuity was good with a meter? Try continuity with your good board
to ensure that you didn't mess up by accident when socketing the chip.

Did you probe F4 to make sure it's getting the proper -5 voltage? Might
be trouble upstream.

Yes all votages are present and accounted for.
