Welp. My skills end at #1. So I guess I'm SOL 😂 Thanks for this though! I like knowing that it's possible, even if it's outside of my current ability 🙂
Well, technically, if you can do #1, you can probably do #2... 😋
And then the rest doesn't require advanced skills, with the exceptions of point #8. Using a programmer is essentially the same as with any other tool. There is a method, you follow it, and you never, ever get close to the blade with your hands when the machine is running. Oh, no, wait, that is for a different tool. 🙃
For sure haha I meant I don't have soldering skills. I know there's a hardware BIOS programmer device I could get, but I feel like at that point, I may as well get a new motherboard 👀
If you're getting a new motherboard anyway you might as well give it a go. There are some micro soldering training kits you can pick up for ~£15 to practice.
