| | Asus p5e3 Deluxe Bios Chip Location Asus p5e3 Deluxe Bios Chip Location After years in IT I have had my first bios flash failure. Now I need to replace the bios chip on the motherboard. What I do know is that it is a 8 pin bios chip. However I can not find the location of the chip on my motherboard. Can anyone help and point it out on the motherboard? Thanks.

| | There should be some letters/numbers on the face of the chip. Make note of the orientation of the writing to the motherboard (draw a picture!), and replace the new chip the same way. Sometimes the chip itself has a notch on one side or the other, but it's hard to see when it is on the board. |

| | The bios chip is very small so I will just take alot of pics before I replace it. Just need to soder it off then soder the new chip on. |

| | Use a marker or some paint to mark one corner of the chip before you take it off. Then you can inspect for any orientation markings afterward. |

Really hope you know what you're doing and have the proper soldering iron, or you will find yourself with one very dead motherboard in short order. |

| | I just got off the phone with a co-worker that will do it for me. It will be fine. I just wish that you could just plug a flashdrive into a certian port and by default look for a rom file and boot using that bios. Then once the computer is booted flash the carupted bios with the new one. |

| | Have you checked your motherboard manual to see if there's a way to install a Recovery BIOS through a USB thumb drive? Many boards have a jumper that performs that function. Why are you replacing the chip? Never heard of a failed flash destroying the chip. You should look into that before possibly killing the board. |

| | From what I have read it is only during the process that you can recover from a bad flash. Look at the manual found at the link below. ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P5E3 Deluxe |
