    ITE EC programming outside

    Hello, so i got this asus fx516 for quite cheap, one of the numerous failures on it is the EC (3v ldo shorted), a bga ITE IT5125VG, so i went to aliexpress to the store i usually buy mosfets and other ics from and asked if they could sell me this ec programmed, and they say YES SURE, so i bought it, i sadly don't own an svod yet (I do this as a hobbie). And i was wondering, it's possible to program an ec outside the laptop? I've seen this done on a laptop through the keyboard connector and even the battery connector, but not outside, at least not on bga ec (IT5125VG). Has someone done this before? I'm asking because i found the same motherboard used and i could buy that one and take the parts from it and fix this damn thing. In any case, thanks.

    most BLANK ITE ec chips flash themselves after installing (ec backup is in spi rom). but this is only the case if they unprogrammed!

          I confirm views on post#2. A blank EC will auto program itself on 1st boot on this platform.

            It is possible to program a BGA EC standalone but the only one I know of currently is the SVOD4 with the debug PCB and BGA socket adaptor. This is 140 euro from their store, on top of the SVOD itself.

            Only one I really trust on Aliexpress these days is SUHMS

              You can program it with the RT809H programmer from the keyboard socket or by mounting it on the card.

                I see thanks mate, i'll check that store next time i have to buy something, i usually buy random stuff from shenzhen hong ming (they don't offer programming tho), so far their ics work fine.

                  Programming KBC IT8987VG ASUS TUF FX506L RT809F+PEB
                  by araxnido
                  Dear friends, I want to share my experience repairing an ASUS TUF FX506L gaming laptop motherboard: DABKXDMB8E0_F_BKXD. Boardview and schematic are available, as well as the BIOS and ITE ROM.

                  When the customer brought in this laptop, it was initially dead; it showed no signs of booting for any reason. After hours of measurements, checking each stage, MOSFET, and seeing if there was a short circuit in any capacitor, I discovered a strange 0.7V leakage voltage on the 3V_S5 rail, particularly on the PL9 coil, with the board not powered on. There were 3V_LDO and 5V_LDO voltages, which...

                  MP2886A programming
                  by zesko
                  Hi everyone,
                  I have a board with a dead pwm on mp2886a. I order the chip without thinking about programming, and now I just realize my mistake.

                  Someone know if it's 100% needed to program the chip ? And if so, how to program it ? I see some dedicated board and software but, software is a bit tricky to me, the bad part of the job...

                  p.s : with the dead pwm chip, the GPU work fine when I disconnect the shorted pwm (6), with the new chip Pgood is 0 and the gpu doesn't start, so I guess it need to be programmed, or it's fake chip..

                  p.s 2 : Sorry for my...

                  Hello, this is my first request on the forum. If you need anything to contribute, let me know.

                  I need this firmware
                  IT8259E248A for the RGB functionality of the keyboard. If you have it, I'll need the EC for the IT5125VG-192 as well.

                  XMCQH128A​ Programming issue
                  by hikesync
                  Sup guys i've been having a trouble with XMCQH128A chips, this is the only model that always fails to programming. All the others models and brands like Winbond, cFeon, etc. All works fine. But i just cant do it with XMC chips, is there some specific program that i must use? (i am using NeoProgrammer)
