    Alienware 15 la d581p

    Hi folks

    Got dell with shorted sio chip ene kbc9022
    Is this chip self programmable, meaning I can buy blank chip and solder, then on first boot it will program itself using data in bios chip

    Or

    Do I need to ask someone to program it? Since I don't have kbc programmer ? Also if this is the case, how one can get EC firmware for this laptop model ?

    Thanks

    Hi, I know this is late, but you need something like this...and a bin file for your board to flash with.

      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...

      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...

      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.

      Alienware M15 R3.Which of these is the BIOS chip?
      by survivalbloke
      This is a Alienware M15 R3. It has a no power condition, 0 amps being drawn. The power button is blinking 3 amber, 6 blue which lines up with an incomplete BIOS flash. Looking at this board, it appears it has 3 winbond chips and I'm not sure which of these is the BIOS chip. The board is LA-J52. Follow up question, can I extract a BIOS file from a Dell exectuable bios update file? ****EDIT***** That lower right "UE2" is not a winbond.

      How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
      by double_DD
      Hi all,

      As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

      I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

      Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...
