    Measure the voltage in the laptop between 4 and 8 pins, and then you will know what voltage the spi flash is designed for.

            First you need to look at what the protection (status register) is (remember, it may be useful in the future), remove the protection (status register), then erase and write dump...

                I don’t have such a “programmer”, and in my opinion it cannot work with status registers.

                    Yes, maybe CH341A can do it too with the program "NeoProgrammer V2.2.0.10".

                        you can test the T48 software in demo-mode to see if it has the features you want.

                              lotas is right about the clips. If you work with the BIOS often or not, better have the adapters. I bought the adapters cost less than $10 each and some are selling less than $5. The pins do not have enough space to use alligator clips.

                                    the software can run in Linux btw - you just need an extra DLL file i can post.

                                            Greetings badcaps community,

                                            I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                                            So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                                            Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                                            I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                                            These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                                            Hi guys
                                            I have a TL866 CS Eprom programmer and up until now it did everything I needed to do

                                            However for the first time I have come across a 1.8V Eprom and my programmer will not do 1.8V

                                            I need to program a 25Q64FWTG

                                            I could splash the cash and buy a V11.71 TL866II. These come with various attachments and the kit including a 1.8V adapter is either €62 with 12 adapters or €68 with 1 7adapters. I also have the option to buy just the programmer for €46.70, if I could get the 1.8V adapter separately and use the other eprom adapters from...

                                            This is a shot in the dark, but I was just using my RT809H programmer and it got stuck in a certain state so I power cycled it. Now, the device LED just flashes quickly and does not connect to the software. I've tried to update the BIOS of it and it fails. I went so far as to remove the ROM from the programmer itself but it's some weird chip (I believe ATMEL, but I can't find any datasheet on it) so I've been unable to read the BIN from it w/ my other programmer. Chip has ATMLHC4C56BM CN written on it (I think). I'll upload an image. I have the programmer's BIN ready to program it manually. Anyone...

                                            Hello everyone.

                                            I have come here with a rather specific question. I was given a Dell Latitude 7420 laptop with a busted screen, and wanted to see if I could refurbish it into my daily driver. I wanted to experiment and see if a 2-in-1 display would work as the chassis of the laptop and 2-in-1 7420 looked identical. I threw in the display and my hypothesis was correct, however, I was greeted with a locked BIOS and since I didn't know the password, I figured I'd try to unlock it somehow. I bought one of those POGO pin probe things for my CH341A programmer so I could read and make...

                                            Recently I've gotten into EC flashing due to my broken laptop(s) and started frantically searching methods for flashing the IT5571E-128 chip on the cheap(due to me beaing a student and not having a job) and noticed that ITE newer chips can be flashed via ISP (In-System Programming) either via SMBus or the KBC (EPP - Enhanced Parallel Port) interface. While these can be achieved with programmers like SVOD4/3 or the RT809H/F those options are WAYYY out of my budget so I was horrified. But recently I stumbled uppon some programmers on aliexpress that claim they can program a variety of ITE chips...
