    mapping of MemTest86 errors to a single chip

    I would like to receive confirmation that the following considerations are correct:

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T490s (NM-C891) with 16GB RAM (8 chips) soldered on the mainboard.
    MemTest86 reports the following errors:
    Lowest Error Address: 0x1F97B0930 (8087MB)
    Highest Error Address: 0x1FB7B6DB0 (8119MB)

    Dividing the 16GB into address ranges per chip I get the following table:
    #1 0x000000000 - 0x07FFFFFFF
    #2 0x080000000 - 0x0FFFFFFFF
    #3 0x100000000 - 0x17FFFFFFF
    #4 0x180000000 - 0x1FFFFFFFF
    #5 0x200000000 - 0x27FFFFFFF
    #6 0x280000000 - 0x2FFFFFFFF
    #7 0x300000000 - 0x37FFFFFFF
    #8 0x380000000 - 0x3FFFFFFFF

    mapping the error addresses to chips indicates, that chip #4 is faulty.

    ordering of the chips according the schematics:
    SUB CHANNEL A: U3301 U3302 U3303 U3304
    SUB CHANNEL B: U3501 U3502 U3504 U3503 (why this strange ordering?)
    ​
    so the fourth chip would be U3304.

    Looking at the mainboard shows the following (strange) ordering:
    U3503 U3504 U3502 U3501 U3304 U3303 U3301 U3302

    So I have to replace the fifth chip from the left. Is this correct?

    Hello,
    I have the same problem with this model. Was it possible to solve the fault ? Or maybe someone had such a problem and hints ?

      So far I have not been able to solve the problem. I have tried using hot air and cold spray to locate the defective chip, but to no avail.

        Hello don’t burn your brain for This,

        if laptop work try LENOVO Hardware Diagnostic F10, it may be more accurate.
        If not just change chips until it works and hope to be lucky !

        ps: I don’t think cold spray Will help you in that case. you may use it only to locale short because short attract current and when a lot Of current pass in a component it heat.

        good luck 😊

          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...

          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...

          Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
          by inck243
          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...
