    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.

            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

            🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
            by macabook
            Hello everyone,

            I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
            🧩 Initial Issue
            • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
            • External display (HDMI) shows
            ...
