    Your bios backup is 1MB should be 8MB, so either you've dumped the wrong chip, or the chip is not read properly. Try again. Post SPI chip markings.

      Hello, My bad, wrong ch341a software . Here is a good backup and i have succes to flash the clevo website bios.

      Now the laptop stay on but always with fan at full speed and no picture. All power supply is up and running. Bios pin have 1.8v except pin 4 abd 7 so i thin no bios problem am i right ?

      I doesn't find any other n240lu bios file, only the file of clevo website, just other on vinafix but i'm not no registered.

      And no shortcut on the board.

      In the zip file from clevo there are an ec file, i think i doesn't need them but maybee i'm wrong ? Peraphs with bios update i have to update this ec file ? If yes is this possible with ch341a ?

      Thanks for any help.

              Clevo PD50PNN won't boot after BIOS Backup
              by Chris_stand
              Hello,

              i hope to find help her in the forum. It is a littlebit tricky. I searched many Days about disabling IntelME that was may major task. So i have a Clevo PD50PNN motherboard.

              BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
              by Sebastian Codrean
              Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
              The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
              So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

              BIOS file (.BIN) for semi-Bricked IdeaPad 3-14ALC6
              by Fr33man
              Hello everyone,

              I soft BRICKED my Lenovo IdeaPad laptop (black screen with led lights on, responsive keyboard backlight, fans spinning) after messing about with a Github tool called Smokeless. I am now attempting to reflash the bios through USB, but I am not sure if I extracted the correct BIOS ROM file to flash, and I also could not find the correct file name to rename it to (GLCrisis.bin, GLCN.bin, Currom.bin??). In addition to attempting to reflash the Bios with a USB, I have also performed the following activities:
              *Novo button power on
              *Disconnected internal battery...
