    Its nice that i get picture of chip position with buying new chip !
    So now i do know where is it!

    Who do you mean ?
    Put them together up until laptop start ?
    After restarting, bios is not necessary so long as laptop is on!
    I will tray is better than solder.

    u can make copy of new with a spi programmer then write to broken. (make a backup of old chip first, even if no boot from it .. it might save u headaches)

    EN25T80 usb programmer is cheap

    This one is really cheap but i sea there is some difficulties
    with software !
    I found this from review :

    Program is able to read out 25F512A (and fast !) and save in file, but cannot change registers in this chip. If write protect bit is set on register you cannot unset it for erasing/writing. Is think software issue and not hardware.
    Writing 25F512A is not tested because I have no empty chip.



    I am intending to buy spi programmer a bit more expansive but
    with much better software - EZP2010
    i will buy it as is for a future to avoid problems such as this!
    OK ,i thank you because you gave me idea what to do!

    soundslike someone was lost with his first time.

    im getting the one with no jumpers.. i think his is the old with a jumper.

    i have used ezp2010 and the cd that came with it was no good.. had to dload from 4shared
