    Asus GL502VT - video bios chip voltage?

    Hi all,

    Please could someone advise me on the following attachment?

    The chip is labelled as a Winbond 25X40CLNIG (suspected datasheet attached).

    1. I am wondering if this chip should have 4.2v on pins 7 and 8 and 0v on all other pins during normal operation? Those readings are not the 3v I expect. Also I thought pin 1 should have power to it when it is operational.

    2. If this is not normal, what should I be expecting on each pin? I see that the datasheet says 4.6v is the absolute maximum voltage rating.

    I am trying to investigate an issue with a NVidia GTX 970m graphics chip in the laptop due to it freezing and locking up when the graphics card is engaged.
    I suspect this chip to be a video BIOS chip and want to establish it's normal voltage reading to see if it is part of the problem.

    Regards,

    MATT

      are all voltage rails correct on the mainboard? what problem does this mainboard have?
      the voltages you measured on that the video BIOS chip are not normal at all, but the video BIOS chip is one of the last components you can suspect.

          Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
          by BMCappelletti
          Long story short:
          - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
          - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
          - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
          - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
          (seems like the story was not that short)

          He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

          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...

          Common SPI bios chip programming Questions and Answers
          ----------------------------------------------------------

          Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

          A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

          Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

          A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

          The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

          Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

          [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support (by razor_amd)

          With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

          For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

          I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

          This is the picture of 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all of them being X555LD...
