    The Best and Fastest BIOS Flasher for Modding Under $2

    Recently, the Raccoon Flash Explorer programmer has appeared.

    It allows you to flash BIOS chips from any device without installing programs and drivers, and also very quickly make small changes without a long rewrite of the entire memory to change a few bytes.

    Very easy to use and intuitive, even a housewife can handle it.

    You can use absolutely any system binary file editor (HxD, WinHex, etc…) on any operating system, the possibilities are not limited by the ugly built-in editor like other programmers.

    It has full cross-platform support, works on any device and operating system (Apple is temporarily read-only)

    Automatic detection of 1.8v and 3.3v chips, without the need to use a voltage matching adapter.
    Overload protection, short circuit protection, reverse chip protection.

    Built-in super-fast, fully automatic data verification!

    Works very well with a SOIC Test Clip!

    In-circuit programming!

    Works much better and faster than ch341 and ezp2023!

    There is also a free version, here it is → Raccoon-Flash-Explorer-Free-Version

    Small changes in the BIOS are written to the chip instantly, even in the free version.
    The speed of the free version is twice as fast as ch341.

    It can be assembled from ready-made boards from AliExpress ($2) in 30 minutes.

    Based on STC8H8K64U MCU.

    Any devboard on such a MCU is suitable for assembly.

    In cases with less than 64 pins, the LED will not be available unless you reassign it in the firmware.

    One of the design types is attached.

      I can’t attach photos of the design, various errors keep popping up.

          Acer Aspire 5920G - Requesting Modded BIOS (9600M GT) from .WPH for CH341A Flasher
          by EbrahimSiami
          Hello everyone,
          I need help with my Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. Its original GeForce 8600M GT graphics card failed, so I replaced it with an Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT MXM card.

          **Problem:** The laptop powers on, but there is no display (black screen) on either the internal LCD or external monitor. This indicates a BIOS compatibility issue with the new graphics card.

          **What I have tried so far:**
          1. I have my **original stock BIOS dump (1MB .BIN file)** from my laptop, which works and allows the laptop to power on normally (but no display with 9600M...

          🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
          by macabook
          Hello everyone,

          I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
          🧩 Initial Issue
          • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
          • External display (HDMI) shows
          ...

          ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
          by jbonavita
          Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
          With original bios no POST, only LED lights
          With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
          Some issues
          A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
          B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

          Things I tried

          1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

          [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,...
