Import BIOS code/dump 840 G8 to new chip W25Q256JVEN

07-05-2023, 06:55 AM

Hi,
I bought the chip Windbond 25Q256JVEN, because the one that I had desoldered from the laptop is broken (top of the Motherboard of laptop 840 G8)
Could you tell me how to add a BIOS dump to this chip what have I bought?

The other chip (the one on the back) was removed correctly. I could read it.

Thanks for all,
Best regards

OMG

Pads of the board are damaged and without a boardview, might be difficult to locate where to run jumpers to. I'm sorry, but this is likely beyond your skill set to fix.

Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader

by BMCappelletti

Long story short:
- dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
- gave the computer to his son a couple years later
- son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
- too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
(seems like the story was not that short)

He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

[REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)

by hyperwood
Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

✅ What I need:
- A working 2MB BIOS dump
- Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575

Lenovo laptop does not turn on, what does this number mean in a BIOS chip?

by thxd43

Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.

The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.

by hotcrossedbuns999
My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this
