Be careful not to over tighten.
Try a search for pen size vacuum on Amazon. Don't know if it will work, but they are not too expensive. (https://smile.amazon.com/Suction-L611938-Precision-Component-Placement/dp/B07KV17Q61/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=pen+vacuum&qid=1551237915&s=gateway&sr=8-7)
Or buy one of these locking terminator tools off of amazon.

Call the mobo manufacturer. They can ship you a new BIOS chip for free or very low cost. I have done this many times. Usually they don't even charge me for it even if it's out of warranty. You will have to buy or improvise a "chip puller", "chip extractor", "IC puller", or "IC extractor". It's basically a little grabby thing that allows you to pull the chip out. You can usually shimmy it out with a screwdriver as well, although I don't recommend that as you can accidentally bend pins that way.
Most BIOS chips are removable these days. So you just get the new chip from the mobo manufacturer, pull the old one out and put the new one in.
edit: this is one kind of chip puller, looks a little big for a BIOS chip though

You can if you prefer, most times I just use a watchmaker's screwdriver, but I also have one of these for hard to reach chips.
[That looks like my Apple ][ plus!](http://i.imgur.com/wAx5M.jpg) I've got the same memory card too. I just restored mine in the summer of 2013. Mine booted, but the keyboard decoder was shot, a bunch of keys were busted, and one of the memory chips was bad. The first thing I woulI would recommend you reseat all the chips. Get yourself a good chip puller like this one, don't use a screwdriver, or a puller that looks like this (these are junk).
Do you have a solder suckers or soldapullit? You will want one, it will make your life much much easier. I have desoldering a few boards with my Edyson Soldapullit.

That depends on whether you have a Metcal station with hot tweezers. There's no MCPCB. The emitter is flowed directly on the driver, and trying to use hot air will probably send tiny capacitors flying.
The right-angle lights have an MCPCB and should be pretty sane. The only bad part is the press-fit bezel.
