Thank you so much for your effort, I thought no one could do it since this model is not quite common. I will for sure let you know in the future.

Backup bios file corrupted or wrong chip.

Thanks, do I need to try to get the dump again? There are some more numbers after that on the chip that I cant read due to white paint on it

Choose another chip, this one is not the bios chip.

Could MX25L25673gmi-08g be it then? That one is 16 pin. PC has a black display. 1 long beep followed by one short beep and cant get into bios.

Looks like that's it.

Ok thank you! Am I ok to solder wires on the board still connected to the motherboard or should I get a SOP16 to DIP8 Flash Clip to connect to my ch341a to get the bios dump? Sorry for all the questions

[thizz]

Re: Acer predator PO3-630 D19W6 bricked BIOS

Nevermind actually was about to try soldering jumpers to the chip to attach to the ch341a but im not experienced enough. Ordered the soic16 clip and will attached bios once I receive it!

Re: Acer predator PO3-630 D19W6 bricked BIOS

Bump, was able to get the chip off with a hot air rework station and connected to ch341a with jumpers.

Predator PO3-630

Thank you!!!
I just erased and wrote the new file to the IC. Is it normal to still have a lot of F's or did I do something wrong? Just double checking before i try getting the chip back on the motherboard.

It's a complete bios file, you just need to use it

Ok thank you! Will report back once i get the computer back together.

Re: Acer predator PO3-630 D19W6 bricked BIOS

So update, I got it all put back together and nothing happens at all now. Prior to updating bios chip it would turn on automatically when plugged in beep twice and led lights would go on. Now all I see as a sign of life is the Ethernet port lights up on the back and nothing else. Any idea what I messed up?
