    Ch341 won't read only when the chip soldered

    CH341 says "IC not responding" only when an SPI test clip is used and the chip has been soldered on the mainboard.

    I tried "free" (unsoldered) chips (sop8 & wson8) WITH the same programmer, SAME TEST CLIP and same pin connecter AS ABOVE and they can all be read.

    Hi do not use test clip that doesn't work good and doesn't read the chip you need to desolder chip and breakouut board or adapter to read chips and use neoprogrammer.

      When the spi chip is on the board and you use a test clip you are also trying to power the whole board from the programmer, like the microprocessor ic etc. Also if the micro does power up, it is also trying to access the spi chip at the same time as the programmer, sometimes disabling the crystal can help.

        CH341 disconnects, test clamp not working, soldered bios chip but not erasing/writing how I fixed
        by Sparklingx
        Hi,
        So i've bough a ch341 programmer, and the chip was CH341B . the test clamp was not working( when connecting bios using test clamp, ch341 device was disconnecting) I tried soldering the bios on the provided board, soldering the bios I could read the chip but could not write or erase. ASprogrammer , neo, ch341a programmer... all programmer software was hanging and device was disconnecting after few second of erase/write operating.
        So then I have soldered a capacitor(whatever I had..[10v ~470uf ] ) from VCC to GND on my provided pcb where you solder the bios

        now all...

        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.

        Bad...

        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...

        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...
