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.Comment

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 SUHMSComment

You can program it with the RT809H programmer from the keyboard socket or by mounting it on the card.Attached FilesI'm not happy to be so strong. because it's not humanlyComment

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.Originally posted by reformatt View PostComment
