    Any convenient cheap programmer for TV chips ?

    Hello all

    Everything is in the title, i was doing a tour on Banggood and Ebay to compare programmers, i could see very cheap one, of course not so complete sets, and quite expensive ones full of adapter board and sockets, i don't know if it is interesting ? Most of Samsung and other big brands have their dumps on the net or not so evident ?

    I am interested to know what do you use and if this is correct.

    I saw some peoples flashing chip onboard soldering some wires on the printed circuit itself !?

    Thanks for your advice .

      Re: Any convenient cheap programmer for TV chips ?

      I was checking two products especially, but i don't know what do you think about it, i need to inform that i am using only Linux in every of my machines, i don't know if they are compatible. My purpose is to flash some BIOS from TV main-boards and computer motherboards, and the Nands as well too, and some phones and tablet chips too, my activity is so various ... That would be good to be able to extract data from USB sticks.

      A minimalist universal programmer set as this https://www.banggood.com/TL866II-Pro...r_warehouse=CN

      This one is quite complete, maybe too much, and surely expensive too. https://www.banggood.com/RT809H-EMMC...r_warehouse=UK

      I am not sure what the VGA cable is used for on this.

      Thank a lot for your ideas and experience on it.

          Hello all

          As i could see in this link Link to Banggood website to TL866II TL866II is supporting NAND(and perhaps EMMC ?) as well, what is different to the previous link for the same product (I think) which does not claim to support it, unluckily this one is lacking of any adapters.

              Be wary, some of the cheaper programmers claim they do NAND but won't do the K9GAG08U0E correctly which Samsung use.

                  Hello,

                  Thank you for this , especially Samsung is fragile concerning ROMs and BIOS, that would be useless, what do you use ? You have some hint about it ?

                      I have a RT809H a GQ-5X NAND and a CH341A.

                          Ch341A is a USB stick with a 16 pins socket right ?
                          None of these 3 ones are doing at same time Nand and small BIOS at same time ? Nand and Emmc always needs specific programmer ?

                          Sorry my questions may looks silly, but i never handled programmers myself, even if in the casino company i was working on, it was very usual to re flash chips with new software especially for the slots and roulettes ....

                          Thanks for your answers

                              Yes, the CH341A is a cheap 16 pin USB stick for doing 24x and 25x eeproms.
                              The Rt809h will do the same as the CH341A and the GQ-5X NAND was bought to program the Samsung Nand that's in their TVs.

                                  I think, firstly i will concentrate on reprogramming BIOS only, it looks like more regular than Nand flash, anyway at Aswo i can order most of Samsung TV's preprogramed NANDs. Bios too most of the time .... I think , I will take adaptation time on it. My TV's cemetery contains at least 20 TV sets i should reflash and good enough to go after.

                                  Thanks for you help.

                                      Best place to source RAM chips? 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB
                                      by ugamazing
                                      I'm looking to upgrade several 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB for personal use. I am curious what the best practice and process is for sourcing new replacement chips, and what vendor(s) you guys prefer? Another question is, how do I find compatible chips and their corresponding part/model numbers? For example, in the 820-00850 schematic, the DDR chip U2600 model listed (EDFB232A1MA) corresponds to 1x32GB chip. Of course, I would need 4x8GB chips to replace the 4x2GB chips currently on the board. How do I find compatible 8GB chips? Is it as simple as searching "BGA178 8GB 2133"...

                                      Recently I've gotten into EC flashing due to my broken laptop(s) and started frantically searching methods for flashing the IT5571E-128 chip on the cheap(due to me beaing a student and not having a job) and noticed that ITE newer chips can be flashed via ISP (In-System Programming) either via SMBus or the KBC (EPP - Enhanced Parallel Port) interface. While these can be achieved with programmers like SVOD4/3 or the RT809H/F those options are WAYYY out of my budget so I was horrified. But recently I stumbled uppon some programmers on aliexpress that claim they can program a variety of ITE chips...

                                      Greetings badcaps community,

                                      I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                                      So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                                      Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                                      I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                                      These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                                      skypro programmer not detecting bios chips
                                      by myth77
                                      I used skypro programmer for years (on win7) and didnt have any problems...but years pass and have cleaned it couple of times so i decided its time for new skypro (same version).
                                      In that time i had also build a new computer and install win 10.
                                      The programmer arrived from China from the seller that old buyers commented that it is legit seller of that programmer.
                                      it looks like this:


                                      The problem is that it is not detecting chips with statement "chip not recognised".

                                      by Teeheeze
                                      This is a shot in the dark, but I was just using my RT809H programmer and it got stuck in a certain state so I power cycled it. Now, the device LED just flashes quickly and does not connect to the software. I've tried to update the BIOS of it and it fails. I went so far as to remove the ROM from the programmer itself but it's some weird chip (I believe ATMEL, but I can't find any datasheet on it) so I've been unable to read the BIN from it w/ my other programmer. Chip has ATMLHC4C56BM CN written on it (I think). I'll upload an image. I have the programmer's BIN ready to program it manually. Anyone...
