    Bios file longer than chip

    Hi There

    So many time i need to program a bios chip by chip programmer (I'm Using a Batronics Bagero), but i find the bios files longer than the bios chip capacity.

    Just now i've a problem with a Dell Vostro 3460. I've found the bios file from Dell, but the file .bin (in this case is a Cab extension file) is bigger than the bios chip.

    Anyone can help me on this?

    Thanks and best regards

          You have to find Bios dump file. and you can program the bios chip. and after that update bios in Windows.

            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...

            Unable to verify IC or write/erase/flash BIOS file to XMC QH128AHIG SPI chip using NeoProgrammer/AsProgrammer
            by testaccgta
            Hi, everyone!

            I've recently acquired two brand new SPI chips to replace the one currently in my Acer A514-54G laptop MB (FH5AT LA-K092P). The reason why I'm replacing the current SPI chip is because I had some difficulties with a third-party IT assistant who pretty much lacked the soldering skills and ended up destroying the current SPI chip soldered to my MB from factory.

            I've decided to do this on my own because I spent the past month or so learning some soldering skills and BIOS modding through Badcaps and WinRaid forums, hence the attempt. I've also chosen to buy...

            NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
            by Citymin
            Hi all,

            My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
            The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
            When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
            (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

            NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
            PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC
            S/N : 5RNK9FFT70...

            Elitebook 840 G5 Bios Chip Soldering Question
            by Azurain
            Hi everyone,

            I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5 that I am trying to get working again. I've removed the front bios chip (the 32mb one) and have run it through HP unlocker already. I've uploaded and verified the new bin, but am now experiencing an issue that has led me to believe I've been soldering the chip back to the motherboard incorrectly.

            Essentially, after re-soldering the chip back into its place and reassembling the laptop, the charging light immediately flashes orange and white and then shifts to a solid white. The capslock and numlock lights blink seven times...

            HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
            by iZakre
            Hello everybody!

            To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

            The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
