    elitebook 840 g1 Bios chip location damaged

    Hi,
    I have a elitebook 840 g1 and I tried to remove the bios chip and the bios chip location is damaged. Do you think that It can be repaire or is my motherboard dead.

    Many thanks for your help.

                  You do need some minimum tools and some experience.
                  Google it or YouTube it "repair damaged broken PCB pads" to get an idea.
                  Practice first on an old / destroyed board, if not, you're risking getting this one worst.

                      ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
                      by DynaxSC
                      Hi

                      I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
                      The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
                      The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
                      The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

                      I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

                      My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
                      1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
                      2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
                      3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

                      Hi guys,

                      If someone would be able to provide some expertise, I'd be very grateful.

                      BIOS Corruption - Cause
                      So I managed to corrupt my machine by installing linux and enrolling custom secure boot keys. I did choose to enroll the Microsoft keys as well, to prevent any potential bricking due to 3rd party drivers from HP being signed with those keys.
                      After doing that, and rebooting(it did boot, powerLED, fanspin etc.), the laptop did not give any video output on the LCD or video connectors. I think I was able to get in BIOS and trigger the beeper by pressing ESC....

                      Help with BIOS update on Dell G15 5515 after chip replacement
                      by capoplays
                      Hey everyone,

                      I recently bought a Dell G15 5515 with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and 3060 RTX. The BIOS chip on it was dead, and my hardware guy replaced the chip. After that, everything was working fine.

                      The BIOS is currently at version 1.22.1, and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest BIOS version from Dell Support using my ST: FQZMYJ3, but when I tried to run it, it says "unsupported system." I asked my tech guy what he did, and he said he took the chip from another board and flashed it onto mine.

                      When I check the BIOS using the F12 menu Flash...
