    provide more informations, like serial and motherboard id. If it's Edge E130 one chipset is located near RAM slot and CMOS battery and the other chipset is located on the other side of MB near EC chipset.

      Is it the one encircled in the picture. Will the short circuit of the two pins method work on this model?

      Really appreciate your help. Many thanks

        I think that is EC bios chipset, Main bios is near RAM slot.

            bios is split between 2 chipsets, you have to merge dumps to get full bios image.

                I really don't know how to unlock it and don't find DMI area. I can provide a clean bios and use LMU to write serial and machine type.

                    ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
                    by DynaxSC
                    Hi

                    I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
                    The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
                    The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
                    The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

                    I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

                    Lenovo laptop does not turn on, what does this number mean in a BIOS chip?
                    by thxd43
                    Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

                    I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.



                    The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

                    Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

                    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...
