    I use CH341A programmer. But for 1.8v chips you will need to get an adapter.

          You can consider Rt809F which is very cheap and efficient as well. For 1.8v chip you need to use adapter. It can program Ene kbc also.

                tl866cs its best for bios
                Rt809F it's good for bios and ene and it Io chip
                Svod 3 it's good for all kbc Io programing

                      I own both TL866CS and RT809F, RT809F will be your best bet,
                      Tl866CS is good but very slow at programming.
                      RT809F will be there for programming most KBC chips such as ITE8586E and KB9012~22 series but you will need an adapter which is not very expensive. And another adapter for 1.8V chips.

                          No, it only flashes SPI, eprom or pic

                              RT809H ,you`ll need kbc adapters, its also a bios programmer.

                              Vertyanov programmer , the original kbc programmer. Only for kbc, and edid


                              SVOD3 KBC,SPI, NAND and eMMC support coming.

                                      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...

                                      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

                                      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
                                      ...
