          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.

            M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.
            by hotcrossedbuns999
            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

            HP EliteBook 8760w BIOS Chip Location?
            by midihead7
            Greetings to you all. I need to replace or re-flash the corrupted BIOS chip on an HP EliteBook 8760w (Quad Core version). The BIOS was corrupted or erased by a nasty virus and the laptop will not power on at all so the Win+B key combination doesn't work to do the emergency restore of the BIOS. Where is the BIOS chip specifically located on the motherboard? I think that it may be the 8-pin chip located near the external battery port and memory slots on the bottom of the laptop (as seen in the picture) but I am not certain. I apologize that I am not yet very experienced with reading motherboard...

            Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
            by inck243
            Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

            The BIOS...

            Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7 - location of BIOS chip
            by Mirenia
            Hi everyone,

            I've got a Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7 with no post/no boot issue.

            The mainboard is a NM-E241 Rev 1.0

            Now I am searching for the BIOS chip so I can reflash it.
            But I have some difficulties to identify the correct chip. The schemantics somehow are not really helpful for me (I am a beginner with Laptop schemantics)

            I found 3 Winson chips and one GigaDevice chip as you can see on the screenshots.
            My guess its the W25Q128JVSIN (UB3) because it is the biggest from all.

            I attached the pages of the schemantics from the...

            T495s Bios chip location
            by Squaryhead
            Hi,

            I'm trying to locate the Bios chip on my T495s 20QJ to recover the Bios.

            The computer shut down during the bios update, now it's just singing. I want to try to reprogram it. I've read the BIOS guide but I'm still missing some information. I hope I'm asking in the right place.

            Do you now which one of those chips is the BIOS ? And, are those compatible with the CH341A ?

            Thanks a lot !
