Just bought a CH341A programmer for Thinkpad T480s, IC chip is 25Q128JVSQ,
I used the AsProgrammer 2.1.0 .13 Version, But I cannot find this chip model in CH341A chip list, there are only 25Q128BV and 25Q128FV.
Can someone help how to handle this IC 25Q128JVSQ?
Thanks very much.Last edited by Vincehu; 01-07-2025, 08:36 PM.Comment

Both files attached. Machine is a ThinkPad T450s 20BX-000XGE SN PC-04QAV8

Hello, I have a problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad E585 laptop (AMD Ryzen 5 2500U). I have a problem at this point in the manual:
STEP 4: Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
When I press F1, a screen is shown asking me to enter the password (on a black background, like a command line) but the keyboard stops working, no buttons on the keyboard work. I also tried to connect a USB keyboard - unfortunately the same thing happened. I tried to turn off and try to repeat all the steps again and again several times - but unfortunately nothing has changed, the laptop seems to freeze. When I restore the backup bios, everything works fine in Windows 10, the keyboard works, the laptop works without any problems (but the password in the bios unfortunately remains and I can't reinstall Windows). I also tried the already patched dump from the forum (post hoaca388):
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...s-dump-request
But the result is the same, you can't enter the password on the patched bios. Maybe someone knows a solution, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Everybody! Until now I have been able to unlock a couple of Thinkpads thanks to this system which I think is quite easy and straight-forward.
Anyway now I came across a P50, and it seems that autopatcher is NOT working: if I patch the BIOS, laptop boots up for 5/6 seconds but then it shuts OFF. NO video screen, NO beep codes.
What I did: dumped the file using a clamp (dumped twice, checked using certutil and generated same hash file so I moved on); patched with autopatched, loaded new BIOS. tried 3 times, same results...
Can it be because of the MACRONIX chip? That is the 1st one I am finding (previous ones were Winbond). Attacched original DUMP.
If I write the original Bios back, it boots normally.
Did you find any solution for this?
I am attaching the original dump and the patched one. Can anyone please help me?Attached FilesComment

I have a P50 and I am also having the same problem. After flashing the patched Bios, the laptop doesn't boot. The power button light turns on, the fan spins, the screen stays black, and after a minute or about 75 seconds, it just turns off.
If I write the original Bios back, it boots normally.
Did you find any solution for this?
I am attaching the original dump and the patched one. Can anyone please help me?

by jbonavitaHi, my laptop wont boot at all
With original bios no POST, only LED lights
With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
Some issues
A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized
Things I tried
1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...-

by zeniusHello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.
Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...-

by WahazHello,
I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
So I thought it was a Bios problem.
I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....-

by BloodhoundjeHi everyone,
I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.
I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.
After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.
I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...-
