hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

The chip is 6x5mm. I think.

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

If the chip is a WSON type, flat to the board with only a few solder blobs sticking out then the clip will NOT work,there is nothing for there to clamp to and will very likely damage the chip.The clips are meant for SOP8 chips

One way to program a WSON8 chip without desoldering is to use a WSON pogo adpter, and they are not very reliable.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001830846980.html Please note that if you decide to buy one of these you must get one thats the correct size for the chip. The two most common sizes are 8x6mm and 6x5mm ,measure the size of the chip with a ruler or vernier calipers.

Another way is to solder wires to the protruding solder blobs of each pin,or if there are some extra copper pads opposite each pin (meant for sop8 chips as an alternative to wson) you can solder wires to those,then to the programmer adapter.

If you can desolder the chip using a hot air station then you can use an adapter board https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32803516506.html

Thank you.

There is a picture of the chip. Can you tell the model? WSON? Is this good wson adapter?

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Why cannot I use a clamp? I dont know how to remove the chip from the motherboard. Did you mean that I can use clamp with Flashrom and works only Linux?

How difficult is to read HP bios chip? I just want to fix my bios... Can someone please help me?

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

So in this case you can't use a clamp but have to remove the chip from the motherboard or you can try your luck through the Flashrom tool on Linux.

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Read from the chip. Is that also empty?

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Ch341A, black board type, has a default voltage of 5 volts. Be careful or your bios chip will be damaged.

With Asprogrammer I found the W25Q64FV. Tried to only read from the chip. That was the last picture. Its empty?? Why? What Im doing wrong?

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Can you tell me about these pictures? I have tried Asprogrammer, Colibri and NeoProgrammer.

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

In your 2nd picture it says the chip is 24C01 ????? .You are going to make a real mess unless you can find the correct chip to backup,and choose the correct chip in the software. If you`re using a clip stop! desolder the chip instead and put it in or on an adapter board.
The CH341A isn`t very reliable.The original supplied software is shit, use ASProgrammer,Colibri or NeoProgrammer software alternatives, you`ll find them all posted in the forum.If you can afford a better programmer go for the TL866II

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

The chip code could be 25Q64FVSIQ. This usually happens on CH341A. Please select the chip manually, do not use the auto-detect function.

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

My Windbond is 25064FV10. I cannot find it from the list. Using CH341A.exe programmer.
App says connected.

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Your backup file is not good, it is empty.

What did I do wrong? I read the bios with programmer ja save to file.

I did it!

Here is the bin. What next? Thanks.

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

Bios update from the Software and drivers support page https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp139...0/sp139924.exe

Run the exe ,it will give 3 options,choose "Save to location" .Try both of the extracted bios.Use HP Bios config utility to add the missing DMI.

thanks. will try, normally when using that method, u get small bios files like 5 MB instead of 8 MB in this case,

will add the DMI in both files and sent them to the friend to test

Re: hp pavilion x360 bios bin need

hi peste, i cant deliver a backup because the laptop is @ a friend and he allready overwritten the bios rom with a random, not the same mainboard type backup

thats why im looking for the right backup
