    MSI A320M PRO-VH Bricked

    Hi!
    I have a MSI A320M PRO-VH (MS-7C52 VER 1.2) motherboard, which originally was working with an AMD A10 CPU. My friend tried to update the bios to the latest version, and install an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G but it's bricked now. I've tried the old CPU and the new one, but I get no post.
    I've tried reflashing the bios by putting it in a FAT32 formatted usb key named as msi.rom, but it doesn't do anything.
    I've tried reading the IC chip with a black CH341A with the 1.8V adapter, but although I can see legible text in the dump, I get inconsistent dumps every time I try it, so I'm not confident I could flash it that way.
    The IC on the motherboard reads MX25U12872F but in Neoprogrammer 2.2.0.10 it's detected as MX25U12873F.
    Is there any way to fix this? Can anybody help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    Do you read the chip directly by removing it from the motherboard or through a clamp?

      I read it through a clamp. It's worth mentioning that if I try to read the chip on another motherboard I get consistent readings every time.

        Remove the chip from the motherboard and read it directly.

          I'm afraid I don't have the tools to unsolder the chip to read it directly and then solder it back again.
          Is there any chance this chip could be detected and read/write correctly with a programmer other than Neoprogrammer?

              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...

              BIOS upgrade fail mother GA-A320M-S2H (rev. 1.2)
              by andrestecno
              Hi, my USB ports were hanging every now and then when starting up. So I decided to update the BIOS of the mother. Unfortunately, after finishing the flashing through QFLASH with a pendrive of the latest firmware version, the cooler turns on, black screen and seems blocked.

              Model: GA-A320M-S2H (rev. 1.2)
              Processor: AMD A8 9600
              Previous BIOS version: F53

              I downloaded the F58d version from here (I think it's the correct one)

              Is there anything that can be done?...

              Hi, I have a few of these & they came with a custom bios boot logo, no passwords etc.

              2 x were brand new unused but with custom boot logo, 1 I installed Windows/ran updates then it bricked itself. 1 wouldn't get past the custom bios boot logo.

              The third I loaded windows, took a backup of the bios chip, then tried to flash several different clean bios's via programmer which all caused it to not boot. I tried to reflash the original bios both using clip & desoldering but...

              Bricked HP Probook 450 G7 Bios questions
              by studdy05
              Hp Probook 450 G7 s# SCD0348W35 had a locked BIOS. Bought BIOS and EC chips off Ebay that were supposed to match this machine - the 450 G7. Flashed in the BIOS on chip i bought using a CH341. BIOS unlocked next boot. Some error to contact HP. Entered BIOS and reset to system defaults and rebooted. Machine worked fine but every cold boot the contact HP message popped and everything else worked as fine. Assumed the error was from EC chip not matching BIOS that i just flashed in. So i flashed in the EC that was supposed to match from the EBay chip i bought and instant brick.

              Ive got...

              This thing is pretty expensive. More than an average notebook.

              Anyway. I got this job over facebook market place. Customer said he bought it used and it was working fine, then he decided to upgrade firmware and somewhere along the way the battery died or whatever we don't know, it got bricked. That's his story and he's sticking with it.

              If we connect power supply to it, we are getting 21 milliamps and nothing is happening. Pressing buttons does nothing....
