That nice. However, I flashed compatible, but not native bios. Each time I boot Windows, I have to reflash BIOS again and again. And it boots accidentally. I suppose it because WSL or Hyper-V enabled. Who knows. Anyone knows how to solve this?
bro you have done making good simple tutorial video, appreciate it. i have question, does the process still same for the bios that has been modified or are there still other steps required?
What do you mean by bios that has been modified? If the settings in the bios have been changed then they will be reset to factory settings. If you mean that the bios is modded then yeah the process is the same. Just make sure to backup the old bios as you might need it. If this doesn't answer your question please explain it again! Thanks!
Hello ihave lenovo ideapad 330 17ikb In lenovo website bios updates can work and both 15ikb and 17ikb model they have same bios model version so can i flash bin bios of 15ikb found on telegram in my 17ikb ? I couldnt fine 17ikb one
Hi, excellent video, I bought a CH341B programmer to repair an ideapad 330s 15arr, but the AsProgrammer program is taking many hours to read the chip to make a backup, is this normal ?
No its not normal. It should take around 5-10 minutes depending on the computer you are using. I don't know why its taking so long, make sure the chip model detected on AsProgrammer is correct, it might be a wrong size like the MB. Edit: there might also be not enough voltage passing through the chip, check the LED light on the ch341B and when its connected to the chip it should shine full power bright, not dimly. If its shining dimly you can check my other video where you connect the power cable to the laptop to get extra voltage. th-cam.com/video/f8CLIy73x1k/w-d-xo.html
@@YoussGm thanks for your interest, my bios is the W25Q64FW 1.8v (I am using the voltage adapter) I tried connecting the power cable and there was no major changes, the yellow light is dim, I noticed that when trying to detect the chip in AsProgrammer 2.0.4 is not able, is it a problem of my CH341 ?
Its probably the voltage problem. Try removing as many components from the motherboard, so disconnect the ssd/hdd, ram, speakers, keyboard etc. Then try again with the power cable connected and see if the light is brighter. If its not then Idk what the problem is. You could try using the 3.3v without the 1.8v adapter but there is a risk of frying the chip and motherboard, no guarantee I can't take responsibility. I can't help any more than that, you could try returning your programmer and try with another one.
Mine says 5V not 3.3V, even though I also have a ch341B, at least thats whats written on the chip. Idk why it doesn't work, is the led on the ch341 shining bright or is it dim? Are you sure the clip is connected well? Are there any error messages? Is your bios chip 3.3V or 1.8V? Ch341B should technically work if you install the same drivers, I'm not an expert at this so goodluck.
I don't have any specific Bios files with me. You will have to find your own either from the Bios telegram or somewhere on google. However, I'd like to know more about your problem! Did your try doing a cmos reset first? If not, your laptop should have a small pinhole under it with a battery disconnect symbol. Poke that hole with a sim ejector and hold it for around 30 seconds. Hope this helps.
@@domyxgw alright then goodluck with finding a bios. You can try downloading the bios update from the lenovo website and see if it's the same size as the bios file. There are tutorials on how to extract a bios from the update file.
The concept is the same but you might need to plug in the power if your programmer only lights up dimly. There should be another video in the description for gaming laptops where I show how to plug in the power safely. Before anything though find a bios for your exact model online or from the bios telegram. Then find a teardown video and locate your bios chip then the steps should be the same.
Thank you, @YoussGm. Thanks to God, this time I was able to recover the BIOS using (Fn + R) and the correct BIOS on a USB stick. Thanks for your quick reply. Now I also got the CH341a to play with :-)
i have problem with my lenovo ideapad gaming 3. before it appear have an error BI InitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000185. then i hard reset it by pressing the power btn for 60 sec. charge it then turn it back on. but there’s new problem that i goes blackscreen right after i turn it on and the fan also the keyboard light only goes for about 2 sec after that just off like that. what should i do?
I found a reddit post that has your exact issue and it seems like the fix in this video is the only way to make it work again. www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/1br8i83/error_bl_initializelibrary_failed_0xc0000185_on/ What you need to do now is to find a working bios file for your laptop, and see if the bios chip is in an accessible location, because if it is too close to other components the clip I use in the video won't be able to fit. It should be designed to work though. Goodluck if you need any help please message on discord! Its easier for me. Discord: YoussGm3o8
You could try to update the bios through windows but there might be a risk of it corrupting again. Other than that idk why. Check in device manager if tmp 2.0 chip is detected or disabled.
Is it this? t.me/biosarchive/20041 If not, you can get a bios from hp website, search your laptop model and go to drivers and download the bios. Then there is a way to extract it, search in youtube for a tutorial but it's tricky. I will see if I can make a video about it. Thanks for the comment!
Hi, I think I might need to do this to fix my gigabyte kd g5 gaming laptop. But I'm confused if I need to find a certain bios file to flash it with the software or not? Or does the software you're using automatically flash it?
I found this reddit post with the steps needed, idk if its your exact laptop but it should be similar: www.reddit.com/r/GamingLaptops/comments/131zzum/guide_how_to_unbrick_gigabyte_g5_kc_bios/ Everything is manual, nothing is automatically flashed. The bios is different for every laptop model so you will have to find either a working one from the same exact model, or go to the laptop drivers website, get the bios from there, and then manually combine your corrupted bios with the download. This combination is also different for every model. the link I attached is for a bios brick, not corruption so it depends what happened to your laptop, if it was a failed update or a wrong bios setting. I'm not really an expert, so good luck with that.
if your laptop is the 11th gen intel rtx 3060 this bios: www.gigabyte.com/Laptop/G5--Intel-11th-Gen/support#support-dl-bios extract the zip and the 128kb file should be it. I'm not sure if its the correct size, but if you extract your corrupted bios and it's 128kb, flashing the downloaded 128kb bios should technically work without any combination/splicing. Make sure to backup the old corrupted bios though.
@unknownvidds If you are using AsProgrammer, there should be the button. Not sure why it wouldn't show up, its fixed in place even when the programmer is not attached to the chip. If the chip is not being detected even after than then check my other video for gaming laptops, where you might actually need to plug the laptop into power while doing the process.

Yes it should be fine to flash the 15ikb bios if it is the same on the lenovo website.
Just make sure to make a backup of your old bios just in case.
Hi, I’ve got a Lenovo Thinkbook 14 G4 IAP that will not boot or POST after a corrupt BIOS update. Do you think this could work even without posting?
It could work. First try doing a cmos reset, that should at least make it show signs of life.
If not, then I guess it doesnt hurt to try this.

tpm cannot be found in Windows after flashing the bios, but the tpm in the bios is active and secure boot too, please help solve it :(
You could try to update the bios through windows but there might be a risk of it corrupting again.
Other than that idk why. Check in device manager if tmp 2.0 chip is detected or disabled.
Cant detect giga device 25lr28dsig chip,?
Some versions of AsProgrammer dont have all chip models. If you google it you might find an alternative chip name that works the same.
This is a very good tutorial. I went to the Telegram Channel and couldn't find the BIOS files for an Elitebook 835 G7. Anywhere else I can Look?
Is it this? t.me/biosarchive/20041
If not, you can get a bios from hp website, search your laptop model and go to drivers and download the bios. Then there is a way to extract it, search in youtube for a tutorial but it's tricky.
