It appears this Picasso legend has disappeared. Shame really as it appears any chance to upgrade the Picasso IV has disappeared with him! :-x
No, he IS the man. He repaired one of my P4's about three/four months ago. He actually replaced the exact bridge chip you are looking for.
I should add though: he is very busy at the moment. He has a study which takes up a lot of his time at the moment.
You are looking for the wrong chips. Usually there are 2 there, in my case he replaced it with a different chip, and only ONE. The card works brilliantly.
The sources to these chips are (i think) somewhere to be found on the net, only thing you need to do is program it. I don't have a programmer yet, although it is high on my wishlist.
Think we might have slight miss understanding.
When I said he isn't the man, I mean he wasn't the person who replied to me referred to in my first post. alexh later referred to Tobias Seiler as person who may have replied to me. I was simply saying that it wasn't Tobias.
As for looking at the wrong chips? Not sure what you are referring too. I understand it's two small socketed chips found in the lower left corner of the card.
I am interested thou in hearing that you have replaced it with one? What sort of chip is that? The biggest problem was finding the chips and everywhere I tried I was told they were no longer made. If you have now replaced it with one it might be possible that it's a newer type!
