Re: HP Elitebook 820 G3 - Locating BIOS Chips & Not Powering On
Thanks for the advice. Just had a check and both of mine are soldered rather than in a socket. I have a PCB they should fit I think.
Do you think it is a good idea for me to try desoldering if I've never done it before? Or am I likely to damage the chip or board?...

Re: HP Elitebook 820 G3 - Locating BIOS Chips & Not Powering On
Thanks, much appreciated! I'm currently at work so can't check, but I don't remember seeing a socket there when I was looking yesterday, so I assume mine are soldered.
If this is the case, is there any way to read it while it's on the board, or would I have to remove it first? I'd guess I can still use a CH341A programmer but would need a different adaptor instead?...
