    • Target the connectors of the BIOS chip with a heat gun.

    • Handle the heat gun with care. The heat gun will be at 344 degrees Celsius or 650 degrees Fahrenheit.

    • Circle the BIOS chip slowly so each connector heats up simultaneously. Heating one spot for too long can damage the system board.

    • Use the rubber handle tweezers, to prevent the BIOS chip from being blown off the system board.

    • This step will take some time. Be patient. You may apply flux on the connectors to help melt the solder.

  27. HP Probook 4540s BIOS Chip Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 1 van 2 HP Probook 4540s BIOS Chip Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Place the new BIOS Chip and align the connectors with the pads.

    • Gently apply pressure to the BIOS chip downwards using the rubber handle tweezers while soldering the connectors with the pads to ensure that the connectors on the BIOS chip have good contact with the pads.

    • Do this until the BIOS chip is firmly in place

    • Check and ensure that the BIOS chip is firmly in place before reassembling the laptop.

    • All the connectors on the BIOS chip should be touching the pads.
