Question Composants missed

[Megaxav73]

On an MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard, I lost the component (resistor or capacitor) that is located opposite pin 1 of the BIOS chip. Does anyone have the reference? Kind regards

The YouTube videos are not that helpful:

The first video (2 seconds) goes by too fast and ends being stuck in some "Auto play" cycle that presents any number of unrelated postings.

The second video (19 seconds) is difficult to follow - does not freeze to get a good look at the indicated component. Plus seeing a metal screwdriver "pointer" makes me wonder all the more....

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

Wired or wireless network?

How was/were the components "lost"? What was being done or attempted when that happened?

Delete the YouTube videos and take photographs of the missing component(s).

Ensure that the photographs are well lit, focused, and clearly indicate the problem.

Post the photograph here via imgur (www.imgur.com) > green "New post" icon.

When I unsoldered the bios chip I don't know if I tore off the component opposite the BIOS paste. Please confirm if there is a component present in this location (and its value and type) or if this location is free?
Thanks

For your information, it's my brother's. So we'll say it's a used one. He crashed the bios while trying to update it. After attempting to reprogram it with a ch341, we unsoldered the bios to replace the chip, and we don't know if the component was missing before or nonexistent.

When enlarging your picture and the one on MSI's product page, I don't see any component where your red arrow is pointing.

OK thanks, So I must not have lost any components while dissolving, perfect. Thanks.

No, I'm pretty sure you're missing a component there.

This website reviewing your board has this high resolution close-up of the SATA ports that gives a very good view of the BIOS chip and (thanks to the light) the components around it. A component by Pin 1 can be clearly seen, in line with the other two.
