Hi rrsmithesq,
Thanks for posting.
We do not have any information on specific chips of our motherboards. Dell replaces defective motherboards and does not encourage users to work on motherboards.
The user manual is listed below but does not specifically provide information on chips soldered on the motherboard http://dell.to/2kWYC0F

Thanks for the reply but I did manage to find the correct Bios Chip,
I did not want to carry out this operation on the laptop motherboard but had no choice as the Flash update supplied by Dell killed my unit as seems to have done for so many other Dell Vostro users.
I also found that the cost to replace the motherboard would be more than the value of the laptop. thanks again Bob
