Hi guys, first-time poster newbie here I hope everyone is good.
I’ve been following the thread from the beginning referencing some important tutorial links on youtube and other great extensive shared ideas on here which are really helpful. Thanks to the creator of this forum and all contributors bringing really good stuff to share and learn.
HELP needed I’ve got a Lenovo T460s 20FA model CHIP WINBOND 25Q128JVSQ and want to unlock the BIOS password. I recently bought the Dealikee SOIC8 SOP8 Test Clip EEPROM Flash BIOS USB +1.8V Adapter + Soic8 Adapter Programmer Module Kit Set for EEPROM 93CXX / 25CXX / 24CXX + CH341A 24 25 Series
I have already moded the CH341A downgrading voltage from 5v to 3v.
Is it possible to use that croc clip on a chip and save the original BIOS, Flash and replace the current BIOS with the generated patch file and send it back to the chip again without desoldering the chip from the motherboard?
Do I need to remove or unplug the CMOS battery during the process or it’s just the 2 main batteries?
Of the 3 programming software, NeoProgrammer, Colibri, and AsProgrammer which would you recommend using?
Also, do I need to plug in a 1.8v adapter into the CH321A together with the clip or 3.3v from CH321A is good enough for the process without needing the 1.8v adapter?
Thanks in advance.
