    Vizio e321vl u18 chip pinouts

    Hey guys I went on my own replacing the epprom however when I was soldering the epprom one of the connections came off and I was wondering If I could run a jumper to it. When looking at the board it's third pin going from left to right on the side of the chip with the recessed dot. Please help me so I can get it working. Btw I know I need the epprom because I tested it before soldering and it worked and when I went to solder it the connection came off

    Post a good close up photo of the damaged area of the board. We can try to see where you can run a jumper to.

        You have damaged more than one pad there, by the looks of it.

              I believe this is it MX25L6406E. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could use an ohm meter and find where that trace leads to so I can solder a jumper to it

                I will check the datasheet and get back to you.

                  Pin 3 may be connected to the ground (pin 4) if you do not require the TV to be able to update its firmware through the user interface or service port.

                      How do I know the pin number? What number is the one I have circled?

                        pin 1 is marked with a dot, then count right, when you reach the end of one side, count from the same end of one side backwards.

                        e.g.

                        8 7 6 5

                        1 2 3 4

                          Also there on the opposite site of the one circled when you look at the picture the first 2 pins on the left are bridged somewhere but not by the pads i checked are they suppose to be?

                                That makes sense. Both go to Vcc, or the supply voltage for the chip, which disables it's HOLD feature.

                                  So it should work fine with pin 3 and 4 connected?

                                          This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                                          There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                                          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...

                                          Help EZP2023+ updated chip database for w25q256jveq?

                                          Hello, anyone here have updated ezp2023+ chip database in .dat file format.

                                          I'm using the ezp chip dabase editor posted from here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ro-programmers

                                          The currenty unit model that I am trying to detect is HP elitebook 640 g9 which is currently locked on admin bios....

                                          Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

                                          The BIOS...
