[irepair559]

hi i have a macbook pro 15 i believe 2015 a1398 from the looks of the bios chip and board layout. Well it has 9 beeps and doesnt turn on..ive heard it the efi bios chip? is there preprogramed chip that i can buy or do i have to reprogram the ic ? i did buy a efi reader and bios chip that looks little diff ( has legs like for the 2014 a1398 efi ) the one i have is newer flat type smd .

Is it 3 short, 3 long, 3 short? If so, then yes might be corrupt firmware.

You need to find the board number first, it's usually down the bottom on the LHS (e.g. 820-00138). You have to match up the firmware from the board, you should be able to get a donor from the BIOS group (if there isn't one you can request it). You will have to edit in your serial number and fix the checksum in the Fsys block.

I usually take the chip off and put in my reader to program. I think there are some sellers on eBay that sell pre-programmed chips.

ok i bought the usb programmer took out the bios chip and soldered it on the board but before i plug it in the pc i noticed pin 2 3 4 all have continuity with each other? is that normal? i adjusted the ic it was a little off as u can see in the pic. If ic is bad and cant read anything off of it , where can i download full dump for this particular board? i know its a 2015 MBP thats it lol no EMC bc the back cover is not original so not printed on it.

The middle of the chip is metal and is likely shorting onto the pads. Centre the chip and retry.

As I said previously you need to identify the board number first as far as donor BIOS goes, and then request (or find one) in the BIOS group on Badcaps.

your exactly right! it was shorting.. read the bios and how can i find the serial number or emc in the dump? it a 820-00163-a can you provide me with a clear efi for my board and i can just wriite it over this one? or here is my original bios dump

Dumps are available in this thread for that board:

Piernov has an a video on YT on how to edit it in and update your checksum in the Fsys block using the UEFItool and a hex editor (I use HxD). Your serial is at offset 00D9006F BTW.
