          I currently have the same board with the bios password I don't have. And I am looking for a solution. I have seen that the board has 3 winbond chips and it really makes me doubt which one I have to replace or remove.

            if the problem is only the Administrator password dump the 16Mb chip only and use RCUnlocker to edit the file and remove the password.

              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...

              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.

              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...

              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...
