    some Bios ICs require 1.8V instead of 3.3v.

        Take a look at this link for what might be the proper boardview file for your board

        https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ghlight=e402MA

        Also look up the BIOS chip and see what the required operating voltage is (I'm at work so cant check boardview for you, and cant read it in the photos you posted). It is probably a Windbond chip of 8M. If it requires the 3.3V then you are on the right track to chase that down.

                  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...

                  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.

                  [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support (by razor_amd)

                  With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

                  For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

                  I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

                  Model No: RC72LA
                  Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

                  Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                  I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...
