    Who has a MSI Z590 PRO WIFI - Need BIOS dump ?

    Hi,

    I need a BIOS dump for MSI Z590 PRO WIFI from a real physical board, along with MAC address and serial no.

    It must be a dump from a physical board, as it contains personalized data eg. MAC Address, UUID, Serial no.

    I have a board which has lost the BIOS contents, I have the MAC and serial to this board, and need to insert it into the another BIOS image. To do it, I need to have a real image from a real board, as the images from the MSI site are without this data. The only way to find where MAC/UUID/Serial is located in the BIOS is to have a bios dump from a real physical board and the values of MAC/UUID/Serial. The one from MSI site is useless, as it does not contain any MAC/UUID/Serial.

    The MAC/Serial/UUID is possible to look for in the BIOS (Setting/System Status/ DMI Information), or alternatively MAC can be found on a sticker on the SATA connectors (6 x 2 digit, eg: D8 BD C1 06 DD 28) , and Serial is to be found on the ATX power connector.

    The dump can be made with a CH-341 programmer, but you need to have a connector for MSI board (the connector is JTPM1) or an special clamp for WSON 8x6 packages - something like this:


    I attach the boardview and schematics for this board, if one would need it.




    Alternatively it would require to desolder the BIOS form the board and to have a WSON8-DIP8 adapter for CH341 - something like this:


    Note that desoldering requires some good knowledge how to do it, so don't do it if you are not experienced - the WSON bios package has a big thermo pad underneath, so it can be desoldered only with a preheater and heat gun, soldering iron is useless !!! The BIOS chip on the board is a Winbond W25Q256JWEQ (package is a 8-pad WSON 8x6 mm), so you can't use the standard clamp for normal BIOS chips.

    Will appreciate your help.

    MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 - real bios dump from board needed (no stock bios)
    by DynaxSC
    Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).

    I need to reconstruct the bios on my board, based on another bios image form a real board - meaning a bios image containing MAC address, UUID and Serial number. A stock BIOS is not suffiecient, as it is impossible to discover where the MAC, UUID and SerialNumber are stored. Tried with a similar board, but there are too much differences, and the stock BIOS is missing a lot of...

    Lenovo L460 LAN issue after BIOS dump flash
    by bestrafer
    Hello everyone.

    I have L460 Type 20FV (2 X 8MB bios chips) with no boot issue after BIOS update (black screen with restarts, common issue on this model + BIOS update).

    BIOS dump(s) from this post https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...7&postcount=27 makes the laptop boot absolutely fine, no delays, etc..

    But there is an exclamation mark in the device manager for the LAN card right after fresh OS installation - LAN naturally doesn't work. I saw requests like "BIOS: fix LAN" on other sites.
    Could someone point on a direction...
