^in these 2 pics, theres a small chip on the upper left side, around the first usb port, thats showing 4 pins, im guessing theres 4 on the other side.. is this the bios?

ive read that there are 8pin type bios and thats the only one i can identify.

if so, i think i'd be okay with flashing it..
first, i've never done this before.. but it'd be a good challange..
so would you need me to extract the bios out first? as in, do i need to buy the tools now or just for flashing it back?

w25q64bv is my bios?
coz then i know for sure that the 8pin chip is the bios.. and it doesnt look very difficult


plus, i'd be glad if you can show me what the suboptions are in SODIMM and power management? for me to know if its even worth it.

also, can't i use sony's own flashing tool to flash the bios?
