    BIOS request for msi H97 gaming 3

    Hello.

    I need a bios binary file for the motherboard msi H97 gaming 3 (MS-7918).

    I have the original one attached. The size is 8mb but the size of the bios files I found on msi support site for this mainboard are 16mb.

    Can anybody help with that? Thank you in advance.

      The bios you posted is corrupt,what programmer are you using. A CH341A ? . Check the chip with a magnifier and look at the part number ,are you sure its W25Q64FV
      .

          I'm 100% sure it is W25Q64FV and I'm using the TL866 II Plus programmer.

              Its the wrong size bios chip.Definitely should be 16MB

              Flash chips in VSCC table:
              1F4700 (Atmel AT25DF321)
              EF4017 (Winbond W25Q64)
              C22017 (Macronix MX25L64)
              C84017 (GigaDevice GD25x64)
              EF4018 (Winbond W25Q128)
              C22018 (Macronix MX25L128)
              C84018 (GigaDevice GD25x128)
              EF6017 (Winbond W25Q64)
              .

                  ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                  by jbonavita
                  Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                  With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                  With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                  Some issues
                  A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                  B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                  Things I tried

                  1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                  [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                  by zenius
                  Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                  Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                  ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
                  by grimacelord
                  Hello,

                  I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

                  I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

                  The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

                  Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

                  Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                  by Wahaz
                  Hello,

                  I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                  So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                  I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

                  Request for PW removed Bios - Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7
                  by Chrisjacob
                  Hello,

                  I am writing to request your assistance to provide an edited bios without password on my Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7 laptop:

                  Serial Number:MP2BKH42
                  Machine Type Model:82SB0001US

                  I am able to get into bios but not update any of the settings with password I have. So I'm assuming I need to reflash with unlocked bios. I can read bios chip withch341a programmer and get bios file off of computer. I also have updated bios file from manufacturer. Just not sure how to edit it to remove password.

                  Appreciate any help in unlocking...
