I wish I could read what was on the chip of the picture you posted. But considering where it is located, it just might be one of the chips I've posted on picture 2.

deffcon my man, thanks so much for the help. I'm just stupid or something, because I don't see it. Everyone of those chips on each side left and right, look identical to each other. I took the whole palm rest of to further investigate, but I don't see it. If you want some pictures of something to see if you see it, then let me know and I will take high quality pictures of an area.

I know is hard to belive but the pole is right, even tough he talks about a different model for that matter.
The BIOS is a 8 pin SOIC but is a bit larger than the usual ones. For example in the second image (of yours) there's two LM chips, well, a little bit squarer than those.

Yes, if you would post some nice shots we could point you in the right direction...

As far as those two pictures already posted, there is not much else to take a picture of. If it's not in the two pictures, then maybe it is on the underside of the motherboard.
