Motherboard ECS A320AM4-M3D Bios downgrade.
Hi:
I have a cheap ECS A320AM4-M3D motherboard; works, the problem is that I update the BIOS to its most recent version and loses compatibility with the processor that was originally there (Ryzen 3200G) and that is the processor that I need to install there.
As I understand it, by "normal" procedures it is not possible to return to the original bios; The manufacturer told me that the only way is to use an EPROM programmer.
I have one (a cheap one XD), the CH341A used with the neoprogrammer.
I use this one (neoprogrammer) because it's the one that seems to work best and it's the only one that finds a similar chip and this is the problem, I've tried several programs but none have exactly the chip that motherboard has, a Gigadevice GD25LB128DSIG.
Using the neoprogrammer's automatic detection, it handles it like a Gigadevice GD25LQ128C.
Using this software, it seems to interact with the chip without any problem and lets me do a bios backup which seems fine (takes its normal time to do and is 16mb).
Looking at the data sheets (GD25LB128D and GD25LQ128C), they seem to be the same.
So, i can try to program although it is not the exact same chip model number or better not try?
Thanks for yours answers in advance
