Hi all,
Somehow i bricked the bios of this thing (still in warranty!) took it to pieces.
And found in all, 2 flashes (attached)
After many trials with dell recovery usb (failed)
The Winbond m74xx i have never touched cause its tagged online as a “security Chip” however
I was able after colossal battles with cha341a to read the GD25xx while its still on pcb (laptop in pieces atm)
Now after using an insydeh20 extraction tool i get ~ 5 files of which one is called setup and it measures exactly 16,384 KB
Losing my mind and afraid i might have damaged or wrote crap to the GD25xx which is obviously not the bios.
Can anyone help with this?
The W74mxx is potentially the bios somehow and can be flashed as a 25xx winbond?
P. S i do have 1.8v adapted so no problem.
Appreciate any help of having bios header and maybe if possible while in just unlock/ add any OC modules (did brick it using the universalformUefiflasher or so)
Appreciate any help.
Stock bios is here (*.exe and rcv for recovery)
