Hi

it's an 8*6 WSON chip
I have get a programing probe (maybye I'll enjoya fast delivery ...)
I'll get back here soon I'll have get it

Thks...

right, uppercase mistake, my wrong

however I extended the serach and I removed a sticky soft plastic shield under which I found a larger Winbond chip covered with varnish, and it's labelled BIOS on the motherboard print
marks are non readable, it is however a larger chip then the one I identified erroneously
I'm gonna have to find the proper clip for this one

Thanks...

Would you suggest me to entirely remove the motherboard to see if it's on the other face ?

TIA, with regardshttps://Hi, thanks a lot for your an...W25Q80DV[/url]...

What I did on one system :

opened it and located the Winbond 25Q80DVSIG eeprom and was able to read the BIOS with a CH341/IMSprog (proper modification applied to the CH341 to have the right voltage on the entire chip)

so I decided to save it and write...
