    Laptop not booting after reading/fashing bios chip

    Hello

    I had a laptop working (booting ok) but it was bios password lock.
    I have dumped a bios chip GD25LB64C, modified the bin and injected back. (I have made the mistake to not unselect "OTP secu R" on read & flash).

    Computer power led was lighting up but no screen at all (no logo or else), then computer led stop a few min later.

    I tried to flash back the original unmodified dump, but same problem.... Computer doesn"t start.

    Now i have an error on verify process (I try different thing (even erase the chip before)

    Pins Detected Passed!

    ID ......OK!

    Erase ...Succeeded. Time : 9.265 S

    Data Protect Disable...OK!

    Programming FLASH ...Succeeded. Time : 29468ms

    Verifying FLASH ...Succeeded. Time : 3968ms

    Programming STATUS REG ...Succeeded. Time : 0ms

    Verifying STATUS REG ...

    STATUS REG ERROR at: 0001 Buffer Value :0x02 --- IC Value : 0x3A

    Verifying Succeeded. Time : 265ms

    Programming ...Failed


    Any ideas? thanks

      Hi

      thanks for the information, i know it, i didn't provide it because i though it was not relevant as it's just a problem of reading/writting a chip.

      I didn't want to give useless informations as i have the program i want to send, but i don't understand where i did a mistake that prevent from booting?

      Brand: unowhy
      Serial: IFP129034378
      Model Y13G011S5EI

        I have managed to remove the error by "unclicking" default activate " Programming Status register."

        But laptop is still not booting even with the original file...

        I have another laptop (the same) that boot, maybe i can take another dump to send to the non working one? but what option to select to be sure to get things right?

        thanks

          ----------------------------------------------------------

          Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

          A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

          Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

          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.

          Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

          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...

          M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.
          by hotcrossedbuns999
          My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
          1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
          2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
          3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

          Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
          by inck243
          Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

          The BIOS...

          Elitebook 840 G5 Bios Chip Soldering Question
          by Azurain
          Hi everyone,

          I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5 that I am trying to get working again. I've removed the front bios chip (the 32mb one) and have run it through HP unlocker already. I've uploaded and verified the new bin, but am now experiencing an issue that has led me to believe I've been soldering the chip back to the motherboard incorrectly.

          Essentially, after re-soldering the chip back into its place and reassembling the laptop, the charging light immediately flashes orange and white and then shifts to a solid white. The capslock and numlock lights blink seven times...
