Wson8 Bios?

[e900]

Hi First time doing this and im learning as I go along, I have a x360 Elitebook that im trying to backup / flash the bios.

I have purchased SOIC8 clip (purchased a kit from Ebay). I am trying to connect the to the bios chip but the clips do not connect / reach to the flat gold plated / pins on the board. Secondly I have resquested for a Schematics / Boardview so just waiting to hear if any one has one.

As I looked into it more (on this forum / youtube) I have learnt the laptop bios i a Wson8 bios, I ID this by various searches online (again im waiting for the schematics but im sure they are the bios chips, x2 chips both are Winbond, different sizes)

Is there a way to connect to this type of chip without desoldering? Anyone modify the soic8 clip somehow to connect to it?

No, the pins are underneath, it needs to be removed with hot air first before programming off the board.
