Replacing the BIOS chip on an MSI Z87-G45

Barney6262 · Aug 20, 2014

Hi,
I have had this board sitting around for a while after I managed to some how break it. After a long time trying to fix this board I concluded that the bios chip was fried...

So, I am wondering if anyone is able to tell me how I could replace the bios chip on this motherboard. At the moment i can't actually find the chip so if anyone knows where it is on this particular board (z87-g45) that would be great!

Thanks for any replies

Based on logic, it should be near "Clear CMOS" jumper. See if it is there somewhere.

Thanks for the reply, the board has a Clear cmos button with no bios chips near it...
The jumper also has a few chips around it but I don't know which is the bios chip... (I don't know what it looks like)

Take the markings on the chips you think could be BIOS, and look for datasheet for them. In the datasheet, when you find that the chip is EEPROM memory, it is probably it.

Noob question, Where can i find the data sheet? It isn't in the box...

Just type in the internet search engine the part number of the chip and the word "datasheet". Like this: https://startpage.com/do/search?q=HN58X2408I+datasheet

unable to find the chip. I have contacted MSI asking for a repair service i could use for the board. Will report back with results...
