BIOS can be upgraded without replacing the chip.
either replace the bios chip itself highly unlikely as most bios chips are soldered or get a new motherboard as its dead a failed bios is a dead board unless u replace the bios chip (if possbile)
The process of upgrading or refreshing the ROM BIOS chip is called flashing BIOS. The power menu in BIOS setup allows you to configure automatic power saving features.
No, you have to "flash a bios" with the up to date version of the software from the vendors site. This would not be an upgrade per say.
Read your manual on how to flash your bios, old computers use a floppy disk and new ones use a flash drive or your hard drive, or sd card. There are certain reasons to flash the BIOS, its not a cell phone, where you update the BIOS to make it run better. You only do this if you have to due to a processor change or a problem reported by the MFG. The maker of your motherboard has the instructions on the method of the flash. It is important to read the manual that is for your motherboard. Only boards that are older have a removable chip. Any newer board has the chip soldered in.
The BIOS chip is located on the motherboard
ROM is incorrect, its Flash Rom
You can connect a PGA (Pin Grid Array) or PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) component to a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. These components have pins on the package that can easily slide into the ZIF socket without requiring any force for insertion.
