BIOS dump for a Razer Blade Pro 17 FHD (RZ09-0220, 2017)

[hafner@zendada.org]

Hi all,

Looking for a clean BIOS dump for a Razer Blade Pro 17 FHD (RZ09-0220, 2017). Unit was bricked by power transients during a tropical storm shutdown in Hawaii. Razer has EOL'd this product and won't provide BIOS support.

Details:
- Model: Razer Blade Pro 17 FHD
- Part number: RZ09-0220
- Year: 2017
- Flash chip: Winbond W25Q128 (assumed)
- Cause: power transient on shutdown — dead on next boot

CH341A programmer + SOIC8 clip on the way. Happy to dump and share my chip back to the community once recovered — that's the deal.

Any help greatly appreciated!

The bios chip must be unsoldered from the board before writing or reading..
do not use the clip, you may have errors..if you do not have anything to unsolder it with,
solder wires between the programmer and the bios chip..

you need an SPI programmer...here is a video for example..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWWi...nnel=ThisIsHow

UPDATE — Correct BIOS chip identified

I've confirmed the actual BIOS flash chip on this board:

Macronix (MXIC) MX25L6406E M2I-12G

• 64Mbit (8MB), SPI, 3.3V, SOIC-8
• Date code: 58408900 K174583
• My earlier post referenced a W25Q128 — that was incorrect, disregard it

Hardware confirmed:

• Model: Razer Blade Pro 17 FHD | RZ09-0220
• Product Code: RZ09-02202E75-R3U1
• S/N: BY1747A13900750

CH341A programmer + spare MX25L6406EZNI-12G chips are in transit (arriving ~Mar 30). Per advice in this thread, I'll be unsoldering the chip rather than using the SOIC8 clip.

Still looking for a known-good BIOS dump for this board if anyone has one. Will post back with results once the programmer arrives.

I did contact Razer Support directly but they refused to provide the file. Now I get what the John Deere owners were complaining about.

Hi!
I have a Razer Blade Pro 17 FHD RZ09-0220 laptop, and it seems to have a corrupted or damaged BIOS. I don't know if you can get me a working one or repair mine, which I've attached below. Thank you very much.
