Hello everyone, probably my mobo is bricked. I want to replace the BIOS chip with a new one. The thing is that it is not properly labeled. Can anyone help me find the chip?
Mobo: ROG STRIX Z490-A GAMING

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

How have you come to the conclusion that your board is bricked?

As for your BIOS chip location;

Just left of the chipset heatsink cover are two chips with two blue dots, they both should be the BIOS chips.

As for your board being bricked, you have the option to reflash the BIOS. Read through your motherboard manual, page 3-4, section 3.5 CrashFree BIOS 3.
