    It will be the best idea to see an actual pic of the flash device you wish to program.

    The adapters referenced in your post are very low cost, consider to source one of each and you will be covered.

      probably 200, but check your datasheets
      or by both adapters like i did - they are cheap

                ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
                by DynaxSC
                Hi

                I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
                The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
                The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
                The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

                I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

                ----------------------------------------------------------

                Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

                A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

                Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

                A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

                The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

                Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

                ENCONTRAR DATOS DMI EN EL CHIP BIOS IDEAPAD5 15ITL05 / FIND DMI DATA ON IDEAPAD5 15ITL05 BIOS CHIP
                by danielgerman681
                Hi, Im trying to find the area on the chip that contains all of my laptops information, but I havent found it. The laptop won't turn on anymore. I was updating the BIOS, and it was supposed to reboot itself, but it wouldnt turn back on. I ve tried every possible solution, every alternative on Lenovo forums, everywhere; I ve taken it to technicians, and no one has been able to fix it. I've already read the chip that contains the BIOS (Winbond 25Q128JSVQ) and searched for my laptops data, but they're nowhere to be found. I only find scribbles and lines of text indicating errors. Has anyone had a...

                M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.
                by hotcrossedbuns999
                My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
                1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
                2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
                3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

                Embedded Controller issues, living an absolute H*LL with my ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED
                by GardevoirForEver
                I've been dealing with so many complications for months, trying to find and then fix the root cause of the issue I really need help and I have to solve this on my own (Going to Asus headquarters isn't an option for me. First, because I'm very stubborn and want to insist that I can fix this sort-of-myself somehow, and second, the location is too far away for me anyway).

                Right now I'm desperate trying to put an end to this nightmare, but OK, I'll do my best to be somewhat brief in explaining and relating the entire situation and context.
