Hey Alex. I'm affraid that this one will be a return. You have flashed a kbc firmware which most likely does not have any locking mechanism inside. What you are looking for is bios chip between PCH and Cpu next to the ram slots
Thanks Slavoljub,. I appreciate your feedback on this. I checked and did find the Main Winbond Bios next to the CPU as you mentioned. I flashed the firmware on to it and restored the old firmware for the other chip. That's why it's always good to make a backup copy of the old firmware as I mentioned in this video, just in case we need to go back. Thanks again.
Good job. I have done this on a few boards and had success. As mentioned from some getting the bios from some manufacturers is a pain. In some instance I had to retrieve bios from donor board and then flash.
I rarely work on computers and electronics any more. But in the case of not being able to find a compatible firmware to write to the chip. I have read the chip and SOMETIMES, your can luck out by reading the comments through different programs and look to the right side and look for words are things that seems to be a possible password and make a note of that address all the way to the left side, and when you click on the possible password it will highlight part of the Hex code and you can make note of exactly what it has and replace it with all F's are 0's and that will remove the password then safe it. And if it doesn't work you can simply just reread and edit what you wrote down to the exact address. This is far more than the average person wants to do but it can be done.
I would like to see how big boss disassembles and puts back tablets, phones etc with sensitive screens. Most of that kind of devices are glued today. How and with which glue you put them back? Please make that kind of video.
Love your Channel. I'm a Secondary school teacher in New Zealand, specializing in Electronics embedded systems. I use your channel to inspire my students... Great work. I will be checking your store soon .Hope you ship internationally... Amazing work you do.
People don't realize they pay mostly for the skills, try microsoldering a chip yourself or try to find the cause of the problem... This person has spent hours perfecting his skills to reach the MASTER LEVEL!
I have learned from you so much and i want to rent a small shop but i dont have any soldering station. I want to save some money but its almost imposible besause i have to go to work. My passion is always microsoldering but i dont have most of the equippment. Im so glad you make videos because they inspire me. I live in Albania and prices of microsoldering are going rocket sky. So i want to help some people but i need some time. If you can help me that would be my dream but if you cant i respect you and dont forget. Keep up the great work!!
I recently accidentally dropped my finer tipped soldering iron and it curved like yours is. Because of that honest mistake, I was able to more easily repair an isl chip on a MacBook Air repair I did. That bent tip really does wonders, doesn’t it?!? 😄
No, I think he left a few bits out: dumping the firmware usually takes a few minutes, finding the new one at least half an hour, writing the firmware takes a few minutes, etc. Still a nice job though :) Also: I tend to avoid these as 90% are stolen laptops.
Clamps sucks. Its very hard to get a good connection and its so flimsy that it cant be used more than 10 times. After that they dont hold well. As for me, i cut the clamp wires and now solder the 8 wires onto the ic without removing it from the board.
You can use RT809F with socket adabter or just socket adapter with this programmer ...you don't have to solder the chip on that board...it will save your time.
Hi, good work! I whant to ask where to fined or buy firmware’s for laptops? thanks for all of your repair video’s i have lurnd so much now i can do my own repairs 🙏🏼 god bleuse you
A god job, but you should take the windows key from the old bios chip and use a hex editor and edit the new bios file and put the windows key on it and solder back.
There a clip that you can program the chip without desoldeeing, I mean directly on the board. Which is cleaner, quicker and less likely to loose or damage it.
Nice video and for me first time seeing someone use an adapter like this for an EEPROM reader. Can I ask when using the soldering iron, at what temperature it's set for jobs like this?
Google and not from anywhere specific. All you have to do is search. A lot of people ask questions that they can easily get answers to by doing a simple google search.
Nice work alex. Always nice to see your jobs. Did you ever got an reaction from your customer if it works when you do jobs like this where you only got the motherboard?
When we ask customers to mail the whole device and not just the motherboard, only few listen. If the new firmware doesn't work, then the customer have to mail back the whole device and not just the motherboard so we can test it. That includes the "CPU and Ram" which I don't know why they weren't mailed with the board in the first place.
@@NorthridgeFix i understand, i would also prefer to get the whole device to test my work after it. Would be much better than sending just the mainboard
Nice, But Alex this IC is EC and password is not inside of this. For sure costumer mailed back for no power but you had a backup so it's not a big deal 😊. Thank you for awesome channel.
Hello Alex, thanks for the amazing content, it's been so helpful ☺️☺️, i have a question please, does the programmer provide bios firmwares for you or you have to search for them manually like i do, if it provides them for you without the hassle, then I need to get my hands on one of those .., good luck brother, keep sharing the amazing and priceless content, Amine greeting you from Algeria

svaka cast Jokicu 👍
@@NorthridgeFixsome laptops or desktops you can reset the firmware password by removing a tiny battrey it is called the cmos battrey
@prozomarizhere That's old news mate, mew models do not allow that..
I'm not a hardware tech but, this is fascinating! I learn a new thing everyday on this channel 👏👌👍✔
I recently did the exact same procedure on an Asus laptop for the first time. Trickiest part was to find the original bios file on the internet !
Where did you find it?
@@tanishqbhaiji103 I think Most of the files are available in The Manufacturer's Official website.
@@userJfedYj45688 nope
If you have trouble. Reddit is your best bet.
It's because Toshiba is no Dynabook. I haven't had a problem finding a bios but I can see why there might be some issues.

Had no idea something like this was even possible.. best teacher ever!
That's great practice to first read and save original Flash content.. 👍 I'm always doing so, even with old EPROM's.

Watching these through a microscope makes it look easier than it really is. Love the videos, very informative
That’s awesome. It’s great learning new things on this channel.
I didn’t know that technique, I thought that was possible using software but not with soldering... great job

You make things look so simple haha - brilliant work 👍
nice job, being able to edit a chip bios is a great skill to have
Nice work, better than factory.... thanks Mr. Alex for another great video!
Oh man I love this channel. These guys are the best, they never cease to amaze me on this channel
quick and easy chip reprogramm,great job
I miss better than factory videos great job alex
Just another day at the office. Awesome.
Nice to see that your knowledge expanding and with other thinks like programming. It is very useful for us to see also this kind of repairs. 👍👍👍
Not really programming, he's just flashing firmware.
@@mugenxfromxthex8962 yes you have right, I choose the wrong word but it is nice to see and this type of content. For me is very pleasant and useful!
Great video as always👍you should try the clamp tool for that programmer, it saves unsoldering the chip from the board
Clamps are for noobs
@@NorthridgeFix 😂😂😂
Clamps sucks. Its very hard to get a good connection and its so flimsy that it cant be used more than 10 times. After that they dont hold well.
As for me, i cut the clamp wires and now solder the 8 wires onto the ic without removing it from the board.
@@NorthridgeFix LOL was not expecting that. Enjoyed it. 😂
@@NorthridgeFix and what you think we are all ?
I love the way you explain things!
You learn something new everyday
I always enjoy watching your videos
I have also a Bios programmer but different model I'm still using it it is nice and handy thing for bios reflashing
You can use RT809F with socket adabter or just socket adapter with this programmer
...you don't have to solder the chip on that board...it will save your time.
i do believe this is the first time chief you showed us such kind of job :) thanks a lot ...
Felicidades, Saludos desde Venezuela.
As always i learnt something new today watching your videos keep up the good work and videos.
ur work is fast like a Cheetah in the wild :) . good job alex
No repairs can escape this guy 😎
Finding a good bios is the hardest part.
Master-level fixes. Awesome!
Nice videos. Very Informative. I never saw something like this before.
Thank you for the little change up there another great video!
Great video man., Always informative.👍👍
Nice work! This time mic is good 😊
Hi, good work! I whant to ask where to fined or buy firmware’s for laptops? thanks for all of your repair video’s i have lurnd so much now i can do my own repairs 🙏🏼 god bleuse you
wrong chip but still a good video and learning expirience for others...
Great content its looks simple when u have the right tool ,,,
Once again...what a nice repair video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Good stuff as always
Good Job Bro
Better Than Factory 😍😍
A god job, but you should take the windows key from the old bios chip and use a hex editor and edit the new bios file and put the windows key on it and solder back.
That's too much work when you can just call Microsoft and explain what happened and get a new key. Or run linux and not worry about it.
@@LatitudeSky without work there is nothing, this is a saying in my country
You amaze me whenever you do things so easily when it’s not that easy for most of us. Good job
Thanks for the video, was unfamiliar with this.
Clean work on a clean firmware 🥰
Nice information many Thanks from india
There a clip that you can program the chip without desoldeeing, I mean directly on the board.
Which is cleaner, quicker and less likely to loose or damage it.
But you have to desolder it at many times. Often you can’t Programm it in the circuit.
SOIC8 clip, I've used one many times modifying BIOS on Thinkpad before. It's very useful.
best teacher ever
You really doing a great job👍
Nice Job, Alex.
Cool password recovery vid.
nice to know that you can flash laptop bios to reset it.
Always great job sir
Nice easy one for today. Thank you.
Perfect video as always!
The job is done!!!
Awesome job bro keep rocking 👍👍👍
Amazing!! #lovenorthridgefix
Thanks for sharing the information!

Well done Alex!
nice and painless
thanks for sharing
Great work Alex!
That was quick but needs a lot of experience
Another great job Alex. From where do you get the firmware files?
Google and not from anywhere specific. All you have to do is search. A lot of people ask questions that they can easily get answers to by doing a simple google search.
You make it look so easy :)
Nice work love it..
By the way what the Price of your Thermal camera???
this one was easy, well done
That was quick though. Awesome.
I did this many times with a ribon cable without dissoldering any chip real lifesaver!
excellent video alex
As always, nicely done.
I'm wondering what soldering iron you are using 🤔
It has swappable tips. Feel so good I saw it in the previous video.

Great educational video thanks👍
Background music makes the video more interesting
Why didnt you use the ribbon cable with the clip on it which some programmers have to make reflashing a chip simpler?,
simple and efficient , great.
Kudos... uncle Alex
What an awesome fix.
Great Job Alex
That’s awesome and great tools too
Great work man💪💪
Great as always
Awesome video as always. I was wondering where did you find the clean bios.
i have same question
@@ClassicVideos432 you can find it online
you can find it on manufacturers website in support section usually where the motherboard drivers are
I have learn something beside a hardware thing👍👍👍
Nice job Alex
Wow great video. So much information to absorb. My son has a Alienware 17 and changed his hard drive and bios won't start laptop. Black screen. And I've researched this up and down and I believe it's that same thermistor for bios. Done the whole remove cmos battery. How do I contact you.?

Wow that was fast. Hi sir alex , what kind of programmer you are using ? Thankyou.
Great video!
Good stuff as always
Best thing to come out Lebanon this century! Can you fix it? Its got no power. Lots of water damage. Keeps restarting...
