I think I found it, but I can't get it to read. It's the GigaDevice chip in the middle of the pic. The green light on the CH341 never comes on. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Don't post pictures unless asked.......

Having trouble locating the chip. Can anyone give any clues or info on what I should look for? I found a GigaDev 25R25 but I can't get it to read like I did the other one. Thank you!

Thank you, sir! That helps! I will look for the right chip and post again....

First of all, I apologize for my ignorance. I followed instructions from various places to connect my CH341A reader and used AS Programmer to read the BIOS from a Dell Precision 7560, ST 971J2J3, BIOS locked with an admin password, but I think I did something wrong. The resulting bin file I saved is only 1024KB in size. The info printed on the chip is Winbond 25Q80EWSIG 2120 and I pasted a screen shot of my AS Programmer below. Moderators: please feel free to move the post the appropriate sub-forum if necessary. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, everyone. I learned about this forum from a YT video about reading from and writing to BIOS. I am a noob but I'm good at following instructions, usually.
