    Zbook 17 G4 BIOS,I am so confuse which is the right chip


    I am supposed to program my Zbook 17 G4 BIOS, when I open the case I am so confuse which is the right chip, I suspect two, one has mention JBIOS1and the chip labeled as "winbond 25Q128JSVQ" Another one marked on the board UE3 and the chip labeled as "AH1806 25B64CSG". I heard some models have back up BIOS. Can you help me to find the right one and program? Do I need program both or only one? Attaching both pic here.​

    25Q128 is main bios, 25B64 is EC bios. probably you have to program both.

      Can you tell me what is RC unblocker is about?
      I tried programming BIOS already but it was not a success. after many attempt finally I put the original BIOS back into the chip, but still system not booting. Lights flashing 7 times then everything turn off. Try re programming BIOS 2nd time with original bin file..Its says some verification error...Any idea?

        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...

        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.
