    The problem is how do I use 8 pin clip on this bios chip with 16 pins. I have ordered a 16 pin clip and is on the way..but another question arises...how do I connect this 16 pin clip to the Ch341a?

    Thanks for any solution
    I have same problem as yours. How to connect 16pin clip to Ch341a?
    Have you managed to solve this problem, if you did please share.

      Google for pinout and match it with soic8 pinout. They have those same 8 pins.

        The chip with no scratches is not original, bought on ebay, and caps lock blinks 7 times with it. Is it because the numbers arent the same? The scratched one has a password and boots fine

          The chip is exactly the same, so if you have problems, check the soldering (try to resolder the chip), or simply the chip is not programmed correctly.

            Compare the picture on the left where the chip is on the pads, and lined up with the white silkscreen line on the left. Now compare to the second picture,the chip is too far to the right and too far up, by over a milimetre or two

                the copy of the bios you posted is empty, try again and post again.

                                    No, I haven't. The last time I tried using HPUnlocker, I wasn't successful. I guess I don't know how to use it correctly.

                                            [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                            by zenius
                                            Hello, 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,...

                                            Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                            by Forest79
                                            Hello,

                                            I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                            The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                            However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                            BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
                                            by Sebastian Codrean
                                            Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
                                            The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
                                            So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

                                            HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb

                                            Hello everybody!

                                            To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                                            The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
