How to take out old/insert new BIOS chip

[high]

Just wondering if anyone knows of/has a link that can show me exactly how to take out an old corrupt BIOS chip and put in a new one. I don't have a chip puller and am wondering if there's an easy way to take it out with a screwdriver without bending any pins.

Depends on the chip's form factor. DIP? PLCC? Socketed at all?

Obviously it's socketed. But yeah it's DFI NF2 Ultra board and it's basically a square BIOS chip with it's own socket. I've heard to rock it back and forth, but which way?? I really don't want to bend any pins.

You'll need a PLCC chip puller to do it right. And make sure to ground yourself well before even thinking about touching the chip.
