Brilliant video, I just got one of my motherboards working with your guide. I'd flashed the BIOS onto a chip but didn't realise I had to edit those details. Thank you!

Awesome fix! Really clear and concise instructions on this video. Great one!

Super well done! This is like a week of research.

I'd been looking for this information for ages. Thank you

Awesome stuff. Keep coming up with more videos.

well. I just found out about your videos, but i'm already hooked. Hope to see more stuff like this in the future

Very detailed repair. Good job!

Things like this always interested me. Subbed

Delivery is perfect! Thank you!

Way, way Cool! Excellent presentation.

Great video. I would love to see more.

Das war perfekt. Ich bin sehr dankbar und glücklich dass es Menschen wie du gibt die sich die Arbeit machen und sehr professionell und detailliert Hilfe anbieten und kostenlos zu Verfügung stellen. +++++++++ 🙂

Dude this is amazing! Thanks a lot!

you're a very brilliant teacher

Best video I ever seen - I have NO idea what happened. Installing BIOS for HP bricked my comp I hope to find a TECH to fix it.

Thanks a lot! Facing the problem with bios in the PIPO X9S tablet running on windows 10 and hope this will help me.

Very cool! Great tutorial!

Interesting video...well delivered too. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for this video!

I really have to thank you for this very helpful tutorial. By your instructions i was able to repair my UEFI on my ASUS Z97-P Board. After i installed Vanguard (an anti cheat protection measure operating on windows kernel level for the recently released game Valorant by Riot) my computer was not able to display any video output or to power usb devices. my last option before buying a new board was to reflash the bios which surprisingly actually worked.

Well made and very clear video thank you

Great Instructions !

That was very educational

Great Video Thank you

Great vid 👍🏼

Hello, I really loved your video! It was really done very proffessional plus easy to understand. Would it be possible to create another one where the software release is not .CAP anymore?

Thank you very much

Thanks!

Nice, thank you for your explanation. I think now i can fix my asus vivobook s to boot up again.

awesome video! keep it up. finally some clue on the web! I have recently replaced my Asus laptop's motherboard (G752) but I need to enter my original mainboard's serial number so that I can have my original version of windows back to my machine. does this procedure work the same for updating mainboard's serial number then updating my bios using Asus WinFlash tool? thanks

hello thanks for your useful information. I have question what if I want flash bios without typing that information eg:- mac id,sn,suid. Also I'm having problem not able to save new bios flash file generated by fd44 editor. I'm using asus motherboard am4 socket. I hope you will answer this as soon as possible. Thanks again.

that's loud and clear, sir, thanks so much, let me share it with my friends, i have learned a lot from your channel! how can i do some donation on your channel?

This video has been very informative, so I thank you for this! I was wondering, do you think it's possible to modify the BIOS to add back CSM? :)

Hi!! I have a Sager NP9870 (Clevo P80DM-G). When I bought it, years ago, it came with just one GTX 980M. So now I bought another GTX 980M in order to make them SLI. I asked for them to send it with 1617 ID but they sent me with 13D7 ID. So I couldn’t flash it right with the vbios from the older one using Nvflash. I forced with the Nvflash mismatch version and the bios chip got really messed up. So I bought spares from the same chip (MX25L2006EZNI - 12G) and spare one from the older plate (25Q20BT) and ended up dessoldering the chip from the new one and putting a 25Q20BT in the place (with the vbios from the older one flashed inside using CH341A SPI flasher). When the new 980M arrived, the notebook didn’t even started if I put it in the master slot. Now with this modification, it goes to the windows all right but I don’t get image (not even through HDMI). So the idea here is to have both cards with the same vbios and ID in order to make them SLI. The notebook bios recognize both cards but the windows just the older one (with the 1617 ID). What can I do to make this work as SLI? I have my notebook with windows 10, both cards (the 1617 one is already inside of course), SLI cable, both heatsinks and even that cooper plate that was hard to find (I have the two necessary units). I have the CH341A SPI flasher and adapters to use the right voltage. And I have a couple units from both chips (MX25L2006EZNI - 12G and 25Q20BT. The 25Q20BT is so much easier to solder and it is the same model that the older plate uses. And I tried a lot of the drivers version from Nvidia and nothing, even cleaning with DDU. Would you help me to make it work? Appreciate it and thanks in advance. I really hope you can guide me to get there and I don’t think I’m that far away!!

Great Tutorial, thanks! I've wondered when looking at regular BIOS chips in the past if execution starts at 0x000 or somewhere else in the ROM. I figure the BIOS is written in x86 assembly?

Awesome. I like this kinda stuff

what would happen if you leave the uuid and serial number blank? If we must enter those values then can we enter random values or spoof them or find them somehow perhaps?

Great video . . . my only qualm is that Windows is still on the machine. 😄

Did you try with raspberry pi, these chips have the same pins, only their size is bigger? Edit; I tried the Pi tutorial on a UEFI BIOS, worked like a charm, only issue is your wiring is wrong, it needs VDD on two not mentioned pins, type 8 DIP.

Bad ass.

I have a question sir. I upgrade the bios through asus utiliy flash, then after that when i try to go ez mode and press the f2 set up it stock at black screen how do i fix it? Tnx for the response.

I also have a mini W25Q128FVPQ but I am having trouble with reading it with a EZP2019+ is it the reader or any problem with my placement or configuration?

Thank you and love how you kept fluff talk to a min!

Dear Sir, is it possible the following? i have an asus b85 vanguard with i7 4770k + gtx 970 + 8gb but recently i had to swich the battery on the board because i was getting kind same problem with wierd reboots and after cpu fan error... but recently i put the bios on performance i the cores temp were crazy (82ºcelcius) most of the time....wierd sutter in games.... etc... ( my cooler only has 1600rpm ) because my motherboard is old last drives were from 2015... can i use other bios?? is it stable?

I wonder would just reseating the flash IC have worked? That type of IC socket is low quality and inclined to cause poor connections when a bit of corrosion forms between the IC legs and the socket contacts (and the IC legs did looks a little grubby). Unless the contents of the flash had somehow become corrupt, its hard to see how a previously-working motherboard would suddenly stop working in a way that would require a BIOS upgrade to repair. Still, its interesting to see the procedure - thanks.

would change metal screw driver to plastic bewareing of esd. is this the best programmer on the market now? thanx for video and answer

Can u help me I flashed a bad vbios onto my Omen HP 15 its a dedicated gpu so no optimus..I need to reprogram the vbios..is there a way I can do this.

Hi, I have 2 Intel Tablets from year 2015 with identical hardware but diferent BIOS version and I´m trying to making work the Dump from one of them to the other one without succes, I already cleaned the TXE but there is no display, What can I do?

So I tried flashing my MSI Gaming 7 z97 Motherboard from version 1.8 to 1.9, accidentally pushed on the power cable for the GPU and now it won't display anything, won't post, will not go past F2 debug code. Any way to fix it? I'm thinking that the bios chip or a memory module went bad or that I bricked the motherboard. I powered the system off, switched to bios B and it went through the same thing. I updated Trainz 2019 from regular to Service Pack 2, rebooted the system and it turned on and turned off well before I tried to update Bios A. The Gaming 7 msi motherboard uses UEFI or UEFI/legacy

nice

i REALLY need help with this in converting an asus bios update exe to a workable bin file with all the correct information. zephyrus m16 2023, can't find ANY resources with these newer laptops.

Hi guy, I have got the new version 2023+. Despite of that that in the CD is added also manual I better understand your guide.. Driver intall OK. But, when I started new version the menu comments are showing mess of letters. Firstly I thougt that I incorrectly copied the folder, but even when I started program directly from the CD it was the same. Can you advice?

think thats the only motherboard I've seen in at least 10 years with the bios on a removable chip. lucky!

Is there any way that you can share or point me to an original UEFI bios version file for a ThinkPad T550? I will appreciate your help. Thanks

Well made video. Are you still flashing BIOS these days?

Yeah I messed up my bios and erased the chip and try writing it with the bios software off asus. Problem is after its written the pc doesn't display anything on boot. Im guessing I gotta use this uefi think to extract intels image thing from my bios .306 file from asus. You did it on a 'capsule' hopefully this works out idk wtf I'm doing

Hi, thank for the great video. Could someone recommend me similar tool to FD44 Editor but just for MSI Motherboards? Thank you

Hi, I am stuck as i cannot read the original BIOS, a fatal error appears stating "Error parsing BIOS data,$BOOTEFI$ signature not found. Please open correct ASUS BIOS file" has anyone else encountered this? To populate the 3 fields required I located the MAC address in the router logs, I have my motherboard serial number from the original boxing but there aren't enough characters, what should it be padded with? And I have no idea where to locate UUID. Any help greatly appreciated.

Ohh, this seems to be a pretty handy vid. Unfortunately I already ripped the solderpads out from my bricked board. SOmetimes proper gear is just better ^^

Good day, can you helpme ? My problem is the following: I bought a Chinese laptop with GN117_MB_V31-T board. (Aptio Setup Utility 2021) (There is no info for that board). And I want to change the logo of the bios. I have used Aptio_V Afuwin to do the bios Backup, then I change the logo with AMI ChangeLogo Tool v5.0.0.2 and everything seems perfect. But when you restart the new logo appears ok. But it automatically enters the bios, appearing a new option RECOVERY, ROM LAYOUT MISMATCH DETECTED - PARTIAL UPDATE IS NOT ALLOWED. If I give ESC it enters windows without problem but always enters the BIOS first, any idea how I solve that problem. Thank you very much for your help.

Great Video. Can you do a Video on a board that needs a bios flash with bios chip with 1.7V to 1.95V requirements?

Can I use this technique for a Microsoft surface pro 6? My friends wife locked his uefi settings with a password she doesn't remember... The computer was given to me with the instructions "fix it and you can keep it, or I want a video of it exploding." I'd like to try and fix it but don't want to risk the $200-300 screen just to find out I can't do it

Great video, my PC is stuck in a boot loop when I hit the power button, tries to start then cuts out and tries again. Quick question, in my situation would I bypass this solution if I simply replaced the BIOS chip? Any advice greatly appreciated

hi,thanks for the informative video. I have tried doing this with my ASROCK X79 extreme 4 motherboard, however it doesn't seem to work. do you know if i can use this method on my ASROCK motherboard too? I have downloaded the bios files from the ASROCK manufacturer site and have tried using the CH431A programmer to program the bios chip however still isn't working for me. Do you have any suggestions on how to program the correct bios file to bios chip? Thanks for your help

I have this problem so I shutdown my pc during and update and it undo the changes now I’m stuck on the UEFI bios page or it pops up with a message that reads select a proper device etc I’ve waited a day and tried almost everything on KZfaq please help

When trying to open the .Bin files with FD44 it's showing error parsing BIOS data FD44 module not found. May I get some help regarding this?

If this problem of repeatedly rebooting occurred on a computer that was already a few years old, most people would replace the computer with a newer model. Most people would not think that they need to reprogram the firmware.

I replaced a chl8228 blown chip on a graphics card. Later I was told it had to be programmed! Looks like i2c but can't find the pins to use. Got any idea how to read and program the chip? I have another board to get the file from. Thanks for the video and any help you can mention. Thanks

this also works with the pickit 3 programmer? thanks for the explanation

could someone (that knows what they are doing) re-write (UEFI) bios to enable M.2 slot (or PCIe 4x NVMe adapter) to enable bootable NVMe drive?? (Lenovo ThinkStation C30 - type 1136... FWIW)... "128Mbit SPI Flash with FWH"???

How do you do this process with no access to the original bios? I accidentally wiped the bios chip before backing up the original bios unfortunately

asus repair H110M-R thank you

So in theory I can open old cap file,change fee version to the latest and update it,so the bios will be downgraded because old bios is working better then the latest one

can you help with my BIOS FIX ? Thanks Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 MK3 and MK4 Two Laptops

Is there a tool like FD44Editor, but for ASRock motherboards?

I had a problem with my asus h110M-c motherboard after uefi bios update system reboots no signal to monitor keyboard and mouse could this be a fix?

id love an editor like that fd44 but for asrock....... but there isnt one i can find..... instead i have to play detective using an old one and the downloaded new bios to determine where and what to change.... POOR MEEEEE lol ...in future ill buy only asus i think....with a flashback button as well

nice purple plant pot buddy

Hi dude, i can enter in bios and i can flash from bios but the PC still reboot at POST like your PC, is impossible boot everything like usb stick or SSD, simply the pc reboot everytime in POST Do you think this tutorial can fix the problem? i have your same winbond chip

Whats the procedure when you are trying to do that using raspberry? Same as in other video?

for asrock motherboards pls

I was modding my laptop, and listening to this and i didn't understand a thing 🙃🤣

i hope it works

did you try to reprogram asus x541n laptop

eeeeeh drive x3 boys

it's so much easier when you can just pull bios chip out. on most new motherboards damn bios is soldered down.
