Yes a programmer can reprogram a bios chip if it is reprogrammable (provided you have a compatible programmer).

If the eeprom is the equivalent chip then it is the same. It is just blank until your program it.

: Hi, I recently upgraded my motherboard BIOS following the manufacturer's instructions (clean boot, use awdflash.exe). Can a EEPROM reader/programmer device be used to reprogram a BIOS chip? I just don't know if the BIOS chip internal structure is the same as an equivalent chip easily found at electronics stores.

: Thanks for your help.
