I'm having the same problem. I have some perfect spot single strand wire running to an alligator clip (so I can ground to the chassis) and I know I can do this if I can find out which 8-pin eeprom chip it is, but I cannot locate it.
If anybody can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
System information:
Dell Inspiron E1705
Tag# BDR4VB1-595B
Express Service Code# 24776242813
If anybody has any idea where the 24CXX or 24LCXX, etc. EEPROM chip is located, please let me know. I believe it uses an A01 bios.
