Yeah I know. That’s why I’m looking for any leads of a Dell specific one. Mine went bad and it’s impossible to find one on eBay or anything. I have a CH341A but the firmware is absolutely nowhere online....

Thanks for the response. I understand that similar ICs might be available through standard distributors, but I'm specifically looking for Dell-compatible components due to potential firmware and compatibility issues. The components I need, UEL1 (SA0000AWJ70) and UEL2 (GD25Q80CSIGR_SO8-X), are not showing up in general listings, possibly due to their OEM configuration. I am trying to see if anyone knows where I can source these. Either scrapped off a dead motherboard or elsewhere....

Hello everyone,




I'm working on a repair for my Dell G15 motherboard (model GDL5L) and need two specific ICs to restore the functionality of the Embedded LED Controller (ELC). The missing components are labeled as UEL1 and UEL2 in the schematic, and they're both critical for LED control and system signaling. Here are the details:




1. UEL1

• Part Number: SA0000AWJ70

• Model: STM32F070CBT6TR_LQFP48_7X7

• Function: This microcontroller manages system signaling, power management, and SPI...

Hi everyone,



I'm working on a Dell G15 5515 (Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050 Ti) and recently installed a compatible 4-zone RGB keyboard and controller (for Dell G15 5510/5511/5515 models). While the keyboard functions for typing, the RGB lighting is not detected by Alienware Command Center (AWCC), which displays “No AlienFX devices found.”



What I've Tried So Far:[LIST][*]Reseated the cables.[*]Reinstalled AWCC and AlienFX services.[*]Attempted BIOS downgrade but no improvement.[*]Inspected ribbon cables for damage.[*]Explored the possibility of...
