    You`ll have to post more info than that. What model is the motherboard,what part number is the bios chip, where is the bios from that you`re wanting to flash is it from the ASRock support page - post a link to it .

      I understand, the motherboard in question is in a loop and I wanted to make sure that the bios would not be corrupted, so the normal update method will not be possible with just a bios recorder, the motherboard (Asrock H87 Pro4) is old but I wanted to recover

        The bios files that I downloaded have a size larger than that supported by the bios and that's my difficulty, I have to convert to the supported size but they are worse than the original, will it have to be another program for the conversion other than UEFITool
        thanks for answering

          It's very strange, as far as I know only ASUS uses an encapsulation (.cap). Look on the support site, if there is not a different version. For such older boards there were some DOS programs to upgrade the BIOS, and they needed somtimes a dedicated file version. Maybe you just picked such a file version instead of a pure .bin container ?

          UEFITool might not help here, as as far as I know it can only handle the ASUS .cap encapsulation. But you can try to read the file with UEFITool to see if it recognizes the file at all and disassembless the bios content.

          Or maybe your board has two bios chips, and the content is divided between them ? ASUS used such a solution on many boards.

                NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
                by Citymin
                Hi all,

                My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
                PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

                HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
                by iZakre
                Hello everybody!

                To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...

                Help to get Lenovo BIOS bin file for Thinkpad T560
                by maanee11
                Hello Everyone,

                I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

                https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

                In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...

                BIOS file (.BIN) for semi-Bricked IdeaPad 3-14ALC6
                by Fr33man
                Hello everyone,

                I soft BRICKED my Lenovo IdeaPad laptop (black screen with led lights on, responsive keyboard backlight, fans spinning) after messing about with a Github tool called Smokeless. I am now attempting to reflash the bios through USB, but I am not sure if I extracted the correct BIOS ROM file to flash, and I also could not find the correct file name to rename it to (GLCrisis.bin, GLCN.bin, Currom.bin??). In addition to attempting to reflash the Bios with a USB, I have also performed the following activities:
                *Novo button power on
                *Disconnected internal battery...

                After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                by dragon3x
                Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                power on.

                Here are some examples :

                (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                switching supply area).
                (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                than 6.3 V.)

                1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...
