**On the X200S and X200 Tablet the flash chip is underneath the board,
-in a WSON package. The pinout is very much the same as a SOIC-8, except
-you need to solder (there are no clips available).\

+in a WSON package. The pinout is very much the same as a SOIC-8, but such package makes it impossible to use testclip.
+In order to enable external flashing of device, chip has to be changed to SOIC-8 one. Such procedure requires hot air station and soldering station (with "knife" K-Tip to easily solder SOIC-8).\
