What’s wrong with the IC specs pdf from Winbond?
Isn’t this the most secure source of specifications regarding the IC correct operation and functions?
EDIT: Also latest CH341A back version, usually don’t need this fix anymore unless its old stock.
What more pins do you want with 3.3v…
“The device operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply”
And what’s that table…3.3 voltage on 7 pins???
You did what you did… so give it USB power and measure yourself the jumper cable output for VCC, this is where the IC need its input… what do you think that feeds the SPI_CMOS circuit???
How about when we have a motherboard with PSU_PW in standby or when remove/insert the CMOS battery… play a bit and do some measures for understanding.
Can you please say about Boya BY 25Q128AS flash chip how to read data from it using flashrom?
I am beginner in this field please enlighten me with your experience in this field.
Hello. It might be a dumb question but I have a winband 25Q64JVS1Q (Last Q could be a 0 idk) bios chip on a MSI H110M-VH PLUS. Can I flash that with a CH341A flasher?
The CH341A is a programming device, it works with a lot of flashing apps and ICs.
These apps must support the IC in their database, so primary it has nothing to do with the device itself.
Hello,
I think I did a mess with my motherboard, Prime X370-Pro.
It has the bios chip soldered and I want a 5900x to work while it had an old bios.
So I updated it with my Xgecu T48 and a clamp connected to the chip.
It took me various attempts to correctly connect it, but the Xgecu is very helpful in describing which pin needs better connection.
I successfully updated the bios, verify it multiple times.
The system won’t start.
Purchased a 3600 just to be sure it was not the cpu, same result….
Downgraded the bios to the first Ryzen 3000 compatible (4801), same result.
Now, is it possible that I bricked the chip, even if the Xgecu does not give me any error signal?
Maybe the flash method is not ok?
Maybe sone other chip needs to be flashed apart from the bios itself (happens with some ROG motherboards)?
Help is appreciated.
Plus, can someone point me to this very good adapter on EBay
The programmer is a T48 Xgecu, it supports basically everything. It is not a cheap ch341a.
That said, I am sure the little tool I am asking for can be of help.
I tried to do the connection myself but I was not successful, the pins are too close to each other.
I really need to find the tool.
Does it exist, cause you saw an MSI header connector? You’re the one that pointed… so where is it? Did you got any anwser from the “chinese” guys?
Or is it this only your own assumption… keep digging.
Not sure I understood.
I am just asking another source of the tool the Lost’n Bios linked.
The Chinese guy (he is Korean btw and sold me some Tualatin adapters in the past) does not list it anymore.
Sir… in which post of yours from last 7 days, did you mentioned or asked for any file/tool linked to the forum past user Lost_N_BIOS Guru (Retired) ???
I only see a request for a similar adapter for Asus like the one linked for MSI header…
Care to explain the post #774
Now regarding your flash attempts, verification is not done with the app/device… JFYI…
Desolder the IC and check it outside the PCB, if still fails it may be damaged.
Just an update.
I fixed the x370 pro.
I used a dump of another x370 pro, edited the dump with the only data I could retrieve from my sticker (the MAC address), and flashed with external programmer.
Next time before doing anything I need to save the bios first.
