    Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH 81Q4 dead IT8226E-192 chip

    Hi, after a short circuit during power cord plug-in the IT8226E-192 chip on my Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH 81Q4 died. I'm trying to order a replacement for it. There are some similar chips available online, but they are not 1-to-1 identical to my chip. For example, I see there's a 1921BXA chip available for sale, while mine is 1932BXA. Do you guys know if there's any compatibility table available which I can use to see what chips are compatible? Should I just order a similar chip and try it? Will I need to program the chip before installing, or will the laptop do it for me?

    Thanks!

      You just need BXA is enough. You can program it via the keyboard cable, some chips are pre-programmed and it can work without doing this.

                      Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                      by acedogblast
                      This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                      There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                      Common SPI bios chip programming Questions and Answers
                      ----------------------------------------------------------

                      Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

                      A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

                      Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

                      A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

                      The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

                      Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

                      Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7 - location of BIOS chip
                      by Mirenia
                      Hi everyone,

                      I've got a Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7 with no post/no boot issue.

                      The mainboard is a NM-E241 Rev 1.0

                      Now I am searching for the BIOS chip so I can reflash it.
                      But I have some difficulties to identify the correct chip. The schemantics somehow are not really helpful for me (I am a beginner with Laptop schemantics)

                      I found 3 Winson chips and one GigaDevice chip as you can see on the screenshots.
                      My guess its the W25Q128JVSIN (UB3) because it is the biggest from all.

                      I attached the pages of the schemantics from the...

                      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...
