I habe problems to understand your questions:

1. With pin 4 bent up (that's the rightmost pin of the lower row) I'd expect
that the circuit does not work ! In any case that's not normal. All 8 pins
of the BL3207 should be connected to the socket.

2. The BL3207 uses a small 8 pin case, the MN3005 a large 14 pin case with
missing center pins. They have to be connected to different sockets on the
A-188-1 pc board.

For details please refer to the document on our website that explains how to
replace the BBC circuit of the A-188-1 module.
