OK. I'll try.

Yes, he was successful.
I heard that another guy succeeded in the same
modification on his TP240X.

No bios error. He says everything works just fine.

Unfortunately, there is no comment about
the detail of the removal technique.

I don't think it's a very good idea. I once did it
and found that the circuit patter cannot hold
when I snipped a wire. So there is a high
probability that you damage the circuit
patten if you just snip them.

I suggest you first obtain a junk circuit board
having a similar chip on it and practice using it.

I hope your success!
