Is it still considered necroing if I'm the last one using it.

Right, so almost 4 years ago since the last post here. I'm still using this board but I got the dreaded 8.8. post code.
Could be a NB problem, could be a broken bios chip.

Since it was still running quite well and a replacement bios chip is quite cheap @ 8 GBP I decided to give it a try.

So first of all, here is the location of the bios chip. Don't bother flipping over or removing the motherboard if it is mounted on a sliding plate, all the connections are at the front.



It's late and I'm not sure my soldering iron is fine enough for this so I'm postponing it to later this week.
