    I need to swap a chip from to dead board to a new board. And need to know which chip I need to remove.
    If I mention what chip it is it may be against forum rules.....

    My MK3 has salt water damage and the main-board is toast. I bought a cheap MK3 on ebay but that unit has
    a bios pwd. I want to remove the bios chip from my
    old board and use it on the new board. Only I don't
    know for sure which chip is the bios chip.

    doesn't u had closed the port covers?
    u can also use any other schematic :) just have a look for an 8pin DIL like it is in the MK1: M25PE80-VMW6G - Micron Technology, Inc. :) But I think, it will not work, if u have TPM on one of this boards.
    And please delete the second and third sentence in ur post above ;)

    The MK3 is different then the MK1-2 so I can't use that as reference.
    Its just a try to see if I can fix my MK3 for good price, instead of
    having to dish out 300$ for a new board.

    Ow it's the one you showed me?! That guy was a fool to have the ports open in an open boat with salt water around!
    But adding another 300 makes it expensive indeed.
    Hope this works out alright!

    No doubt it would have been soldered and he had an old board laying around that had salt water damage. That's why he needed a new mobo in the first place but the new one had a password protected bios chip.
