Corrected entry: In the scene where Geordi and Picard discuss the possible reasons for Data's malfunction, Picard asks if it could be because of his emotion chip. Geordi replies with "He didn't take it with him". But in Star Trek Generations Picard's own log entry has him state "His (data's ) emotion chip has been fused into his neural net and can NOT be removed." In other words Data could not "not take it with him."

Correction: A fused circuit is fixable. The reason it wasn't removed in Generations is because 1- they didn't have time, and 2- Geordi, their engineer and the man most qualified for working with Data's positronic net, was indisposed, having been kidnapped and tortured by Soren. It is quite possible that, when they had the time, they were able to work with the circuit and remove it.
