            Maybe the OP is using a CH341A with a clip

                Try and make another backup,its more reliable to desolder the chip if you have the tools.If you havn`t and you are using a clip make sure it doesn`t wobble about and it makes good contact. Make 2 backups and compare them with a hex editors "File Compare" function, and lookat the files to make sure there`s some code there other than all FF`s.

                  Yo got me yes I am using a ch341a with a clip. I am able to get it to read but the chip is not listed with the application I'll try pulling it again.

                    FYI I had to rar the bin file which is 64 kb. since the site would not let me upload a .bin file directly. I can see that there is hex data. My fear is that the ch program is not detecting the proper chip and is pulling less data than it should.

                        Try NeoProgrammer from this post,and check if you have 5V on pin 28 ,you can mod it to make it a bit more stable

                                  Need BIOS Dump/ROM for Lenovo Thinkstation p500
                                  by AHmad_Salal
                                  Hello all,
                                  I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P500 that is stuck at post with no display, it happened after I changed the memory timings in bios. I can not clear CMOS using the jumper on the motherboard, also tried re-flashing bios suing a USB stick but it also doesn't work. The only solution that I can think of right now is re-flashing the bios chip using an external programmer but the problem is that I don't have the bios dump of p500 for flashing externally and I don't know the location of bios chip. If someone can provide the bios dump and bios chip location it would be really helpful....

                                  Request HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 (J06) BIOS dump to restore system firmware
                                  by Ahari
                                  Hi all,

                                  This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

                                  I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

                                  I...

                                  [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
                                  by hyperwood
                                  Hi everyone,

                                  I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

                                  The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

                                  I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

                                  āœ… What I need:
                                  • A working 2MB BIOS dump
                                  • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
                                  ...

                                  ASUS ZenBook UX480F : need help with cleaning the ME region of my BIOS dump
                                  by mkdj
                                  Dear all,
                                  I have a ASUS ZenBook UX480F with the following symptoms:



                                  I suspect it is a BIOS issue. So I decided to try to clean the ME region. I followed the guide on win-raid, and I believe I have done everything correctly. My problem is: when I open the outimage.bin in ME Analyzer, it says that it is Extracted, and not Region, Extracted as it should be. Is it normal, or did I do something not correctly? This is my first experience editing BIOS files.

                                  I would appreciate if someone could take time to explain the issue, so that I can learn. But I would...

                                  Dear all,

                                  I have recently fixed a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ALC6 that was not booting due to a BIOS issue. After flashing the BIOS, the laptop boots up, but hard disk is not recognized in BIOS. Is says "Hard Disk : Not Installed". I have tried with 2 different drives (one that I know is working on another laptop) but I get the same result. I do not know if disks were recognized before I got the laptop and fix it, but I don't see any reason why not. I can boot on USB though.

                                  Here the steps I have taken to fix the laptop:
                                  - downloaded latest BIOS from Lenovo Website...
