Thanks for the fast reply!

No there is no corrupt BIOS in the flash. The tool refuse to flash before flashing. Uff ;-)

The first time that happens. I repeat SLIC procedure for the BIOS 3603 2 times for sure.

The board has two BIOS Chips. One is now flashed with ORIGINAL BIOS 3603 and the other with SLIC BIOS 3510.

I added all the stuff I have in the first post.

Thanks a lot.

 

Yes, think that is exactly what I mean. Do you know, how I can avoid this?

Thanks a lot

 

Ok, I gave it a try. It worked!

Thanks a lot

Had the same problem as you a couple of years ago on a Fujitsu Amilo Laptop. Did a bios update in windows and on re-boot the laptop was completely dead with no lights fans or anything.
Luckily the bios chip was within a socket on the MB behind the keyboard. I was able to remove the PLCC32 bios chip and re-program using MCUmall True-USB PRO GQ-4X Willem Programmer.
I also had a ASUS MB which i no longer required. The bios chip in this MB was SOIC 8. I ran a test where i corrupted the bios and tried recovering using my programmer and test clips. I could not recover using the test clips with the chip soldered to the MB. Could only assume that other components on MB was interfering with the test clip recovery. In the end i used a sharp knife to cut the SOIC chip out. I then programed a new bios chip and re soldered to MB.

Pretty sure your laptop is recoverable. Do research on internet to see if you have SPI header on motherboard. If so recovery of the bios chip will be a lot easier.

Good luck and comeback on how you get on.

i have soldered a socket on the PLLC32 type . i get them from the network cards or a broken mobo

 

You have good soldering skills. I tried once soldering a PLCC32 socket but made a complete mess of it. Have you come across soic sockets. I see a lot of adaptors for programmers but nothing that could be used as a socket for motherboard soic bios chips. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

This bios mod tool is very good - Big thanks to andyp and all in this development.
One question
When using this tool a RW report is required when carrying out the mod. I note that the mod can be performed without the RW report.
Very interested - why is the RW report important, Are there any additional risks without the RW report.

Used this tool many times. Recently used on a Foxconn A55MX MB with the default settings and manufacturer as other.


Many thanks

 

most times readwrite is for laptops.
