Burnt BIOS chip? Get it out with this tool!

I burned a chip on my Biostar AM2+ board (TA785GE 128M) after a failed BIOS flash. I ordered a new chip from overseas and then used this tool to remove the old one. In my case there was a capacitor next to the BIOS chip socket which made removing the old chip difficult but not impossible. As with any electronics, use caution and keep your arms straight.

Pros
  • Adaptation, metal and shielded plastic to prevent static damage to IC components
Cons
  • Not sure
