Welcome to the forum!

Why are you replacing the chip in the first place?

You cannot replace the BIOS chip, because it contains an ID that is tied to the security chip. If you swap it, you will get the dreaded 4 sets of 4 beeps.

Knowing the location of the BIOS chip won't do you any good, because that's not where your password is.
Forum rules won't allow any further discussion of this.
