user manuals usually don't show the bios chips just the cmos battery. what bios as in award, phoenix or what? is the new bios chip's legs straight or curls under the chip body itself?

hi, the bios is insydeh2o, the new chip i have is tiny but the legs apperar to be, 4 on eachside and curled but not under the chip, they are just like little legs holding it up lol.
insydeh2o is the name on the chip not the display name on the screen that award would showup on. look on the motherboard topside to see if can see a similar chip tho it might be in a socket(hopefully) & not soldered(not good) to the motherboard itself.

nah i found that it is to the left side of the touchpad when the keyboard is removed, there is 3 chips diagonal the middle is the bios, it had a little marking on, im gonna try swapping that one and c if it works lol. hopefully it will, :(
