I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one has a chip' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'flog spare pots' is the wordplay.
'flog' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'flogged' mean this).
'spare'+'pots'='sparepots'
'sparepots' with letters rearranged gives 'E-PASSPORT'.
