Got four boards at work that need new BIOS chips soldered on. I've got experience soldering, but only with capacitors, which have much larger feet than these chips. If you can do it, they'll pay you for it, so good for some quick cash for what should be an easy job if you know what you're doing.

If you have all the tools needed to it, I could possible give it a try. I have a soldering gun, but I'm pretty sure the tip is too big (that's what she said).

We don't have any of the tools. You'd have to provide your own soldering iron (15-30w range for PC electronics, preferably pen tipped) and some rosin core solder. A soldering gun is probably too big for the job. Definitely needs to be experienced and sure they can do it, these boards are $200 each :D
