Hello
For the BIOS program, I remove the IC because the ZIFs that program the IC from the board usually do not work correctly.
The programmer we have is TNM model 5000 or 7000.
Beside it, we also have SVOD4, which I do most of the work with this programmer.
If you want a laptop programmer, I suggest SVOD. Of course, you have to remove the IC BIOS from the board and program it, but it is not necessary for the IC, and it programs with the keyboard through the keyboard jack.
