Re: CH341a - Questions

and how many times did you read it - more than once i hope!
i think you need to start with a new chip - then we can see if the programmer is good.
btw, are you using a socket, or soldering the chip to a header every time?

Re: CH341a - Questions

did you desolder the chip, or use a clip?

Re: CH341a - Questions

read the chip, then use the verify option - do it atleast 5 times.
that will tell if it's reading o.k. - if not then it's probably a bad connection to the chip or adapter.

Tanks for quick response, what i mean is that i was able to backup my bios bin before earasing and writing another bios i downloaded from the internet, but programming the verification faied which so that the bin mismartch with the bios. after that, i try to rewrite my backup bin but the verification still doesnt march . pls friends i need ur assistance cos my laptop is brink

Re: CH341a - Questions

Wrong connected ! Should rotated 180 degrees

Thanks for response.

Did verify ok after writing the BIN file. Same exact chips. It's been a long time since I've meddled in anything bios related. I seem to recall many moons ago that HP did some strange stuff with DMI I think?? But that's old stuff.

Maybe I'm putting the adapter board on backwards then. Wasn't able to read the chip at all with pin 1 to pin 1 on the YFT board. With pin 1 on pin 5, it read ok. Or did it? LoL ... I watched a video on some discussion about it. Host claimed it was incorrect.

Here's a pic ... should the adapter on top be rotated 180 degrees?

Just wondered if you managed to get the programmer working?

Re: CH341a - Questions

device appears first then when I check the device manager there is yellow question mark in the usb section with unknown device when I check the properties on it "

good, at this point you can tell it to update the driver from a chosen location.
then point it to the driver you downloaded.

Re: CH341a - Questions

Re: CH341a - Questions

i know nothing about win7,
but if it's like xp you should be able to get a list of recognised hardware on the screen.
anything not recognised will have a yellow questionmark against it.

do you have that screen, and is the programmer showing up there?

Re: CH341a - Questions

Hi Katfish, could you tell me anything about the right position of the adapter board onto the CH341A mini programmer? I've got the same model but in my case the card can read bios (MX25L1005) only with adapter rotated of 180 degrees, as you said... Could you help me? And I'd like to see the discussion video you referred to... Thanks in advance for answer.

You are correct. You need to rotate the adapter 180 degrees to the photo above.

Re: CH341a - Questions

pin1 on the adapter is printed and the pad is square.

the socket on the programmer is used differently for 24series and 25series though.

Shows how much I pay attention. :P Tried it the other way around ... same result. Read original ok, flash new one ok, laptop still doesn't post with the new bios on it. Post fine with the old one.

The new chip is a donor from another HP board. That board has issues, so maybe I have something wrong with this chip. Going to dig through my pile of boards and see if I have another.

In the meantime ... think I'll get this software registered and updated as well. Seems like it might come in handy later.
