-Chip Differences
-----------------
-Most notably, the BIOS chip is on the other side of the motherboard when
-compared to the X200. It is also a slightly different form factor (WSON-8)
-compared to the X200 (SOIC-8). The implication of this is that there is no clip
-that can touch the tiny pins on the outside, so you'll either need to solder
-wires to the chip (very difficult, but not impossible) or remove the chip
-entirely. Note that there is a large thermal pad under the WSON-8 chip, which
-makes it quite difficult to remove as it removes the heat you are applying.
-Using a hot air gun, set the temperature to around 400 degrees Celcius and
-gently heat the part evenly (it will not budge no matter how patient and careful
-you are at a normally advisable 300-350C). Applying some Chip Quik (or similar)
-will make removal easier. On the X200t especially, be careful of R647 in
-immediate proximity to the flash chip.
-
-Once the chip has been removed from the motherboard, it can be replaced with a
-suitable SOIC-8 that supports a clip.
-
-See the following images for reference:
-
-![](../../docs/images/x200t_flash/X200T-flashchip-location.jpg)
-![](../../docs/images/x200t_flash/X200T-flashchip-underside.jpg)
-
-If you choose to solder directly to the chip, you will probably have more
-success using Kynar wire-wrapping wire (or similar). Secure the flyleads with
-hot glue to prevent them from pulling off.
-
-![](../../docs/images/x200t_flash/X200T-reflashing-onboard.jpg)
-
-If you intend on flashing the chip (either the WSON-8 or the SOIC-8) off the
-motherboard, you need to pull the HOLD pin to +3.3V. Leaving it floating will
-result in inconsistent writes as it bounces around. The motherboard does this by
-default. Some chips you will also need to pull the WP pin to +3.3V, but on
-others it is not necessary (check the datasheet for your specific chip,
-depending if they default to LOW or HIGH).
