    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.

              Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
              by m1ch43lzm
              Hi everyone
              I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
              Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

              Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
              There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

              Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

              Hello everyone,

              I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

              This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

              I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

              by Citymin
              Hi all,

              My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
              The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
              When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
              (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

              BIOS REQUEST FOR CLEVO PE60RNE-G
              by princebuzz
              Hi everyone,

              I’m looking for the correct BIOS / EC / ME firmware for a CLEVO PE60RNEQ laptop that was sold by Scan as a 3XS system. The laptop has developed a boot issue that appears to be firmware-related, and I’m hoping someone can provide a dump or the correct files.

              System Information:
              • Base laptop model: CLEVO PE60RNEQ (NP60RNEQ)
              • Motherboard ID: PE60RNE_RND_RNC
              • Vendor: Scan 3XS (UK)
              • Unfortunately, I no longer have the original box.

              Firmware Versions (from BIOS):
              • BIOS Version: 1.07.07SCI
              • EC/KBC Firmware Version: 1.07.07
              • Intel ME Firmware Version:
              ...
