- | ==== How to change the BIOS chip ==== | ||
- | - Close the screen lid. | ||
- | - Locate and remove four screws from the bottom front side (user facing side) of the unit. | ||
- | - Open the screen lid, and slowly remove the keyboard. Pull the keyboard up, by first loosening up the corners. Be careful when doing this, there is a ribbon cable under the keyboard connecting the keyboard to the motherboard. | ||
- | - You will not be able to detach the keyboard ribbon cable from the motherboard yet, because the ESD shield is in the way. You will first need to remove the ESD shield from under the keyboard to access the area where the keyboard ribbon cable detaches from the motherboard. The ESD shield is usually held in place by two screws at the rear corners of the shield. | ||
- | - Once the shield is removed, you may pull the tab on the ribbon cable connector, and pull the ribbon cable out. If the tab was opened correctly, you will feel zero resistance when pulling out the ribbon cable. | ||
- | - You now have access to the Motherboard and RAM area. The BIOS chip is on the lower right corner and will be labeled 003x, where x is the version of the BIOS. | ||
