replace the Bios chip with a new one.

It isn`t necessarily the bios chip thats faulty,more likely the software. The xtw100 looks the same as the CH341A but has an stm32 chip.I`m not sure if there`s any other compatible software that will work with it,such as AsProgrammer .

Support was pulled,the reason being "Forgot this patch wasn't ready" https://github.com/dword1511/stm32-vserprog/pull/41

He might add it back in again when its ready,until then it won`t work with the xt100 ,so you would be better to order the CH341A ,who knows how long it will be before the patch is added agian,it might take longer than waiting for a CH341A from china
