Re: Programming MEC1633L
You can do that fairly easily with an spi flasher and some mad soldering skillz
I just came upon this issue with a board with a bad chip but I can't see paying for "VIP" when I have another board and I can just dump the flash and bios and clone it.
Of course I could always just buy another board and do a hex diff and wind up with the mloc to patch the serial myself as well as the certs.Attached Filesif you find these attachements useful please consider making a small donation to the site

i recently bought a new wd re4 2tb with 2014 datecodes. when i got around to testing it tho in victoria hd tester, the write speed was very slow at 14 mb/s with a 256 sector transfer size. when i increased the transfer size to 1024 sectors, the write speed increased slightly to 44 mb/s. read speeds and sector verify speeds were fine and at normal speeds.
so i just ass-u-med the drive's poor performance was due to it being an advanced format drive and i was using it on winxp. when i tried cloning my system disk to this wd re4 2tb drive and writing to it in linux, the write speed... -

Hello first post!
Ok so after an (ASUSTek) optional Windows update, my old ASUS E403NA laptop rebooted and froze in the BIOS menu screen and was unresponsive so after about 30 mins I powered off and back on again. Now i just get a power LED and a black screen, I have tried all the basic suggestions and all the suggestions on the ASUS site, spoke to ASUS support who said I will need to pay for an RMA.
The laptop is worth €50 so I won't be doing the RMA at god knows what price.
So I have seen some videos where people have reprogrammed the BIOS...03-07-2024, 08:31 AM -
Hi,
I've managed to take an image dump in BIN format of my Dell Latitude 5420, which had a Winbond 25R256JV chip installed.
I used an RT809F programmer to obtain the BIN, using the supplied iFix RT809F programmer application (latest version being 20220830).
The programmer automatically found the settings to read the chip but selected the Winbond W25Q256FV instead (my actual model isn't available on the listing within the software). The image came out fine - I did this multiple times to clarify the data being read was the same each time.
