No, that little PCB just pops right off. It's the old chip under a
blob of epoxy trick.

MIS sells replacements that are self-resetting. They run down as
normal (or the printer would detect an error condition) and you just
turn the printer off for a few minutes, and when turned on again they
are at 99%. Why 99%? Because if they reset to 100%, the printer would
decide they are new and run a cleaning cycle, wasting a lot of ink.
