    W25Q64BV alternative?

    Hello all, I have got a HP EliteBook 8560 as part of a job lot
    I am sure the bios chip should be a W25Q64BVSIG but the chip is
    missing, I think someone has already had a go at trying to fix it.

    I do not have a W25Q64BV in my collection of chips and was wondering
    if there was another chip I could use instead?

    Sorry if this have already been covered, Thanks.

      Thanks for your reply Conste, I was wondering if the MX25L6473FM2I would work
      as I have seen many Winbond's replaced with mxic over the years.

      My chip list below
      W25Q64FVSIG (SOIC-8)
      W25Q80DVSIG (SOIC-8)
      W25Q80EWVIG (SOIC-8)
      W25Q128JVSQ (SOIC-8)
      W25Q128FVSG (SOIC-8)
      W25Q128BVEIG (WSON-8) Large
      W25Q128JVSIQ (SOIC-8)
      W25Q128JVPQ (WSON-8)
      W25Q128FVEG (WSON-8) Large
      W25Q256JVEQ (WSON-8) Large
      MX25L6473EZNI (WSON-8)
      MX25L12873FZNI (WSON-8)
      MX25L6473FM2I (SOIC-8)
      MX25L1005AMC (SOIC-8)
      MX25L12873FM2I (SOIC-8)
      MX25L25673GM2I (SOIC-8)
      GD25Q32SCP (SOIC-8)
      GD25LQ64CVIG (SOIC-8)
      GD25Q80SCP (SOIC-8)

      As this laptop is not working I am unsure if the chip a will be ok
      I don't want to get the multimeter out and waste what could be many hours.
      I have just ordered some 25Q64BV's it could be weeks before they turn up.

      Thanks again. I am no pro , I still have a lot of learning to do.

          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...

          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...

          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...
