    Yes. GM45=GL40. Though there are differences between two chips but they can be swapped for sure.I've done it on few occasions with success.

      Why go through the hassle of replacing a BGA chip while barely any benefit from it ?

        You need to change a bga chip on many occasions if the chip itself is bad. What else do you suggest??

          Replacing a bad chip is OK. But in this case, do you really think that changing a working GL40 chip to GL45 has any practical benefit ?. Of course, its someones choice to do what with a machine he own. I am just point that this is really not an upgrade and doesn't worth the effort.

            yes GL45 upgrade from GL40 is not an upgrade in practical purpose-so agree with you.

              Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
              by acedogblast
              This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

              There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

              Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
              by inck243
              Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

              The BIOS...
