Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
Yeah, I described that at least 3 times to them but those "professional" retards doesn't seem to be getting what I ask for (or don't want to help)....

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
Could you please send me divided (8MB file)?
I already asked Razer "support" million times but they keep saying they don't send individual parts and I should send it back to them for repair (which means a full mobo replace most probably......Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
So I could manage the attached image from this secondary BIOS. What I can understand that it holds this EC FW which has version 1.0. Could this cause the whole issue with my machine?...Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
I've talked to a guy who mentioned that this model has two BIOS chips. I've made a screenshot (attached):
The main one is Winbond 25Q128FV (marked as red) and that contains that 16 MB bios which I could manage to flash.
But the problem would be with the second one (Gigadevice GD25Q64CSIG, marked as blue) which holds EC FW. So if I would have the image for this secondary device and flash it that would help I guess.
So my question is if anyone has similar model / motherboard...Leave a comment:

Do you think ordering a new BIOS chip from ebay and soldering it would help solving it?Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
I've also tried it so many times and even if programmer says flashing was successful I still can't turn on my machine, no leds flashing, etc. Any more ideas? That repair cost you mentioned worries me so much...:OLeave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
Sorry for the late reply... I don't have any first backup as didn't think an official BIOS update can mess things up like this (now I've learnt for my entire life...).
I will measure the voltage tomorrow.
It still has warranty but I bought it on ebay from a "non-authorized" seller hence Razer doesn't accept it. So they would repair it for a fee and what I've learnt so far from other forums that would be a whole motherboard replacement which will cost a lot...

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
I haven't removed it during flash. I used a clip. And I could manage to re-flash it today successfully.
I remember when the issue was only with main bios I could see LEDs working. But not anymore. I guess that would be due to EC? I found another chipset (also from WINBOUND) close to the area where keyboard connects to motherboard. Programmer also identified it but could not retrieve image as - I guess - it's broken. So would be nice to find someone who has the same model and could provide...Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
I'm not sure which chip should be the EC one. Made a screenshot and marked BIOS chip with RED. Probably EC is the one marked with BLUE?
It's so tough to read what's been written on the chips. Any more details what I'm looking for?...Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
Thanks! I remember once the windows was working I could manage to run Razer BIOS installed 1.06 which contained this FW but when I checked in BIOS, the ME version was still 1.0.0. (which I guess not updated)....Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
I used the clip. I think the main BIOS should be fine as I could manage to flash it successfully but the issue is with EC. And I couldn't find EC FW for my model (Razer "support" doesn't provide either)....Leave a comment:

Re: Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
Hi and thanks for your reply! The main bios backup is the same as the original one but for EC i don't have any. I should try to extract the current EC but i guess that would be a broken one.
Anything else I can try to provide?...Leave a comment:

Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) Bricked due to BIOS upgrade
Hello Guys,
I have a Razer Blade 15” Base 2020 (RZ09-0328x) and performed a BIOS update last week (used the factory 1.06). During installation Windows 10 BSODd and my computer didn't start anymore. I could manage to manually flash the BIOS with a CH341A Programmer (only to version 1.03 as 1.06 is still killing my machine) but after that my touchpad is not working anymore. When I check BIOS I could see proper main version but for EC FW and MCU FW versions I see version 1.0.x. (which seems to be incorrect for me). I extracted the BIOS image from official updater (it contained 2...
