    Is the chip that should be read/programmed?

      Search the forum for NeoProgrammer , ASProgrammer , Colibri.

      Thats one of them,there are 2 chips on the board, both are WSON8.I hope you aren`t going to try connecting a SOP8 clip ?

        What clip should I use? How do I figure out the other chip?

          Assuming you don`t have the tools to desolder the chips you can use a WSON8 pogo pin adapter,search the forum,its been mentioned many times.There are 2 different sizes so choose the right one.Alternatively solder some wires from the programmer adapter board to the solder thats opposite each pin,this method will be more reliable than using the pogo adapter.

          I think the other WSON8 chip is on the other side of the board,somewhere..

            Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo
            by throwaway327
            ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
            Model No: RC72LA
            Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

            Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

            I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...

            Lenovo T480s, what's up with this Bios, modded boot logo, reflashed now bricked

            Chip MX25L12873F

            Hi, I have a few of these & they came with a custom bios boot logo, no passwords etc.

            2 x were brand new unused but with custom boot logo, 1 I installed Windows/ran updates then it bricked itself. 1 wouldn't get past the custom bios boot logo.

            The third I loaded windows, took a backup of the bios chip, then tried to flash several different clean bios's via programmer which all caused it to not boot. I tried to reflash the original bios both using clip & desoldering but...

            Lenovo LOQ mdl 151RH8 bios Q: Can't get usb boot to list
            by Max029
            I've searched and read Beginners guidelines and other sticky threads. This is just a simple bios question. If I may, I'm having trouble finding any help, including from lenovo tech support & forum, for how to get usb boot to list in boot options. I'm trying to run memtest86 so nothing as highfaluting as re-install, flash a bios, etc.

            I've made usb boot enabled and secure boot is disabled. I can find no other option in bios ver LZCN34WW (the original bios). Would anyone here be familiar with LOQ or Legion bios versions & know what is going on?


            TY,
