    hello, i wanna buy a bios programmer on ebay, but there is many sockets like
    DIP28, DIP32,DIP40 and SOP8/16 and no one have all of it.

      It's called SOP8...You'll probably would need to buy DIP to SOP adapter as well cause it will save you some time...

        also when ordering adapter make sure you get correct width..

        sellers sell a norrow and wide version.

        you will need wide version for laptop bios chips

              im getting exactly this one, but from an italian dealer for about 60 euros complete with 8 adapter socket.

              some china dealer doesnt ship to italy because of the big time for ship ... sometimes around 60 days and people ask for refund to paypal even if they get the object after 50 or more days.... that's a shame.

              once i got a product after 65 days. dealer already shiped me another one.... and to be honest i payed for both

                  http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/967/60...607967_451.jpg

                  so it does not matter the size or the chip ofc it needs to be 8-pin SO8

                          The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
                          by STKR123
                          Greetings badcaps community,

                          I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                          So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                          Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                          I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                          These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                          I learned that desoldering...

                          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

                          Thinkpad t480s, completely dead after BIOS flash using CH341A programmer
                          by what_1282105
                          Following this guide (https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/co...g_and_flashing) i re-flashed my t480s BIOS using an external (CH341A) programmer. The flash didnt work, so i reverted back to my BIOS backup successfully. The BIOS in the chip and the BIOS backup file are identical according to windows' file compare. The revert, however, didnt work: the only thing the computer does is flash the power button 3 times when AC power is connected. I've tried unplugging the CMOS battery, holding the reset button and holding down the power button- no signs of life....
