    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...

          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...

          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.
