    MX15G bios programmer

    Hello guys, I have Compaq Cq62 with MX15G bios chip that I'd like to flash.
    Can someone please recommend me a good bios programmer, i.e. post a link.
    Is it possible to directly program it over serial interface, i have MAX232 serial homebrew interface from my old days.

    Thanks!

          I have the MX25L8005M2C-15G a 8 pin SOP bios chip on a dead Compaq cq62 that i would like to read the dump from, possibly if it is damagead / dead I'm planning to replace it with a blank MX and programm it. Thats why I'm asking for a good programmer recomendation, don't want to buy some chinese brand that will die in 2-3 months...

              how about a EN25T80, usb programer and CH341A software, looks like the software supports the chip, and they are cheap.

                      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...

                      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

                      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....
