    VBIOS for Acer Predator Helios 300 PH3-315

    Dear Badcaps companions,


    We got an Acer Predator Helios for repair that's missing the VBIOS chip (UV2). I already figured out that the chips is a Winbond W25Q16JWSSIQ so we're looking for a 2MB dump that's no where to be found.
    The Acer website listst some VBIOS updates, but they are EXE files and they somehow seem to be compressed or encrypted. I have knowledge of BIOS but not much of VBIOS. Is there somebody out there that can help me?
    https://www.acer.com/nl-nl/support/p...sn=21205450234

    Serial number: NHQFTEH0012120D4E63400

    Thanks in advance!

      You are the best (again!). First did not work at all, but after using a PH315-55 bios together with this one it works. But: gpu is not recognized in BIOS (unknown) and nor is the SSD. I just need a virgin BIOS from the website, but guess what! Seems like a dead link.
      Looking for the right BIOS only leads me to the rev 1B, not the rev 1C that I need.

      Model: PH315-55-724G
      s/n: NHQFTEH0012120D4E63400
      SNID: 21205450234
      Motherboard: LA-L992P rev 1C

      Conclusion for now: the main BIOS is also corrupt but I can't source the right one. Any help is appreciated!
