I cant tell as well if that open IC socket on the bottom right is a missing keyboard BIOS or not...

However it looks like the keyboard controller chip is missing.

KB controller is built into the chipset. No idea why there is a separate socket for it as well.

Maybe so they 'could' exchange chipsets without having to redesign the board?? I dunno.
