        I have no old backup, because it is empty. Only FF here.

            I think bios is split into 2 chipsets, post a clear picture of region marked in yellow square. Read also 2nd chipset and post it here.

              does your programmer have support for the npck397 chip, which programmer is it, what is the full chip part number

                  I asked for pic and 2nd bios chipset, it's FF because you read it wrong or erased before reading. If you want help do what I asked, having 2nd bios content I can figure out what's missing from empty chipset and rebuild it from update.

                    Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                    by acedogblast
                    This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                    There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                    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...

                    [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
                    by hyperwood
                    Hi everyone,

                    I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

                    The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

                    I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

                    āœ… What I need:
                    • A working 2MB BIOS dump
                    • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
                    ...

                    Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
                    by BMCappelletti
                    Long story short:
                    - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
                    - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
                    - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
                    - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
                    (seems like the story was not that short)

                    He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

                    Lenovo P14s Gen 5 SVP unlock
                    by Syseng
                    This sums up discussion related to Lenovo P14s Gen5 in this thread. Credits go to Sbaro and especially Maxpower3. The locked dump is attached.

                    The device is based on NM-F871 motherboard with Nuvoton NPCK397 series controller. The motherboard also contains three BIOS chips: two different Winbond chips for main BIOS and external EC flash, and also a Gigadevice chip which purpose I do not know. The password information is contained directly in controller and thus can be manipulated by reprogramming it, so reprogramming BIOS chips is technically not required, however you may wish to make...
