    Hi guys,
    Do you know how frustrating it is that every time you want to try a new bios or rewrite a corupted one you need to disassemble all laptop to access the bios chip? I figured out a method to circumvent that.
    So lets begin:
    1. Disassemble laptop.
    You have plenty tutorials posted here about that so I will not cover that again.

    2. Solder jumper wire to bios chip, and after isolate with kapton tape.

    3. Solder jumper wires to JTAG 8 pin connector and secure it with double sided adhesive tape.

    4. Secure everything with tape.

    5. Success.

    Oh that's what it was (I asked in the other thread).

    Back on my old GS30 I had a socketable connector added in.
