    Help find BIOS Chip on Razer Book 13 rz09-0357

    Hello I have a Razer book model rz09-03571em1 that had a bad bios update a while back that put it out of commission. I have a chip programmer but am having a hard time locating the actual BIOS chip on the motherboard. I already have the BIOS file, but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the chip or has any information on writing a new BIOS. Pictures of the board will be attached.

          The pics are very grainy but post the topside markings of the large 8 pin IC behind the wifi module. This looks to be a flash memory device.

              the markings seem to read MXIC MX25L6436F. I also attached an image, but it is very zoomed in to see the number.

                      Ok thanks. I wasn't sure if I was flashing the wrong chip or if I was just doing it wrong. I removed the chip and soldered it to the programmer but its still not working. I may just try and get a new BIOS chip that is prewritten.

                          First find the missing resistor and next time be more careful with nearby components when soldering.

                                  ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
                                  by DynaxSC
                                  Hi

                                  I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
                                  The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
                                  The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
                                  The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

                                  I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

                                  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.

                                  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
                                  ...

                                  Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

                                  The BIOS...
