    legion FY510 NM-B961 EC chip replaced

    Hello

    i replaced blown super IO on Lenovo legion, motherboard FY510 NM-B961

    10 bucks, i said i will try

    before it was dead, now i get a fan spin, keyboard lights up and laptop shuts down

    can anyone tell me, is this because of a blank EC chip, (do i have to program it, bios EC erase,..?) or do i have other HW failure?

    it's my first time replacing super IO, so sorry for stupid questions

    BR

    and thanks for answer guys

      i replaced IT8226e
      i was reading that on some motherboards automatically program it, so if replace it with a programmed one it will work?

          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.

          Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7 - location of BIOS chip
          by Mirenia
          Hi everyone,

          I've got a Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7 with no post/no boot issue.

          The mainboard is a NM-E241 Rev 1.0

          Now I am searching for the BIOS chip so I can reflash it.
          But I have some difficulties to identify the correct chip. The schemantics somehow are not really helpful for me (I am a beginner with Laptop schemantics)

          I found 3 Winson chips and one GigaDevice chip as you can see on the screenshots.
          My guess its the W25Q128JVSIN (UB3) because it is the biggest from all.

          I attached the pages of the schemantics from the...

          Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH 81Q4 dead IT8226E-192 chip
          by geotox
          Hi, after a short circuit during power cord plug-in the IT8226E-192 chip on my Lenovo Legion Y540-17IRH 81Q4 died. I'm trying to order a replacement for it. There are some similar chips available online, but they are not 1-to-1 identical to my chip. For example, I see there's a 1921BXA chip available for sale, while mine is 1932BXA. Do you guys know if there's any compatibility table available which I can use to see what chips are compatible? Should I just order a similar chip and try it? Will I need to program the chip before installing, or will the laptop do it for me?

          Thanks...

          Dell Precision 5530 15" died to blown chip. Replaced chip and now only get momentary fans, lights, no screen or boot
          by joesmoe91
          Hello,

          My Dell Precision 5530 turned off suddenly when I was running Matlab and wouldn't turn on, show any lights, fans, and/or any signs of activity at all. I opened the case, removed the battery and looked at the board with a thermal camera while the AC adapter was connected. I saw that PU1252 was >120C so figured the chip had died on me Got the part number off the attached schematic (see Mouser link below) and replaced the chip. After replacing the chip the board (connected to AC adapter) was able to briefly power on, spin the fans a little bit, and turn on the front led lights....

          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...
