Q4-1 -> U9-CS# Q5-1 -> U5-CS#

maybe thaere is a resistor of 0 Ohm (maybe R509 ?) between the Superio and U5?
Possible, but someone will have to spend some time checking connections on the board to find it. Really tedious work.
It's not R509 though since Q5-1 is U5-CS#, not Q4-3/Q5-3. :\
it might be easier and a LOT saver to unsorder a resistor the it is to unsolder a singer soic pin .....
I think lifting a corner pin should be doable for pretty much anyone with a little soldering experience but if you can find a 0 ohm that's great! :)
A nice method of desoldering soic pins is to use a 26 swg enamelled copper wire. Pass the wire under the ic and between the pin. Tug the wire so that it slides under the pin while heating the pin. You end up with the pin clear of the board. Can also be used to remove the entire chip without damaging the ic or the board.
