    Ordering EC Chip for Motherboard

    Hi everyone, I'm ordering an EC/IO chip for my motherboard DA0R53MB6E1 R53 and the IO chip is IE8518E. My question is: do you know if this chip needs to be programmed or it can work out of the box? or the program is stored in bios chip?
    Thanks

              Ebay and aliexpress. Many sellers if not most of them sell used. So buy 5pcs - some may fail.
              See-ic is one of the correct sellers that i know on ebay, they usually sell new if stated so.

                  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...

                  Lenovo T490 - motherboard serial - windows licence lost - after corrupt bios chip replacement
                  by baletak
                  Hi,
                  had T490 with faulty bios chip. Bought chip out of ebay and soldered on. Laptop starts and works however serial numbers of laptop and motherboard do not match.
                  I have updated laptop model number.

                  1) I did not find the way to update laptop serial number - I have this one.
                  2) I dont know where to get my motherboard serial number and how to update it. Is it somewhere physically on the mainboard? How do I update it?

                  Hope to find someone to help me with this as I am hitting dead end at the moment.

                  Many thanks

                  Miro

                  CH341A Unable to Read BIOS Chip on DA0R53MB6E1 Motherboard
                  by Zentech
                  Ok, I have a laptop motherboard who does not want to turn on. So I isolated the problem to either a BIOS or KBC problem. So I'm trying to read the software from the BIOS chip, and I get a wierd file. (all F's) I'm going to attached the file to this post. I'm using CH341A miniprogrammer usb board. And for the software, I'm using AsProgrammer v1.4.1. So I'm worried that BIOS software might have come corrupted, or it also could be that it is not reading from BIOS properly due to driver issues.
                  Power led is on and when I press read on software, the communication led comes on. However, when...

                  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...
