H-61MU-E35 (B3) 4MB BIOS Chip Vs 8MB BIOS BIN File - WinBond 25Q32BV

Hello,
I have MSI H-61MU-E35 (B3) motherboard with Ivy Bridge Processor, and everything was working fine,  Using Windows XP, I may have updated BIOS with different model no, so upon booting I was getting message that "BIOS File Not Found..."  In past, I had posted message in forum and got Big help but nothing worked nor message changed...
So, finally I build Rayer's circuit to flash BIOS using SPIPGM Software utility. 
Rayer's SPI Circuit and SPIPGM software is working fine. I am also able to write BIOS and retrieving it back and also comparing with what was actually written, and able to compare to make sure, its writing correctly.
BIOS Chip Detected: Winbond 25Q32BV  (4MB)  Datasheet is Attached
I also read Chip number visually, which is matching with what's detected by SPIPGM (Rayer's software)
Product Page: us.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
Issue is:
I have Ivy Bridge Processor and this motherboard supports Ivy Bridge Processor only with BIOS version12.x above.
(1) All Ivy Bridge Supported BOIS BIN File size is 8 MB  and BIOS Chip size is 4 MB
Question is: How it's possible to write 8MB BIN file with 4MB BIOS Chip ?
There are 4MB size BIN File with older version, but that does not support Ivy Bridge Processor and with Ivy Bridge Processor in the socket, system will not boot to even say something.
Using SPIPGM utility, when I tried to feed 8MB BIN file to BIOS chip, it's complaining me that, File Size does not match with BIOS Size...

Hello SVet,
THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !!!
I downloaded your BIOS file using SPIPGM into Chip..... AND....
After 6 month later... finally My dead board is live again and booted Windows XP as original....  Amazing....
Agian... THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !!!

  • BIOS chip for MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)

    Is it possible to get a BIOS chip for this motherboard?
    I've got this motherboard from a friend. He wanted to flash the BIOS but it failed. The board was fine before the flash but now it can't do anything anymore. It's just the BIOS that's bad.
    The chip seems to be relatively easy to remove. I would like to solder on a new one. 
    Someone who can help me out? Thanks!!!

    Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite.  Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
    Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
    You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
    Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
    Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
    You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - BIOS chip location

    Does anyone know the location of the BIOS chip on this Toshiba or have an image of something similar so I know what I am looking for? I have taken out the motherboard and despite a sticker that says ISKAA V1.20 BIOS, AAB4, U52 I cant find it (assuming U52 refers to the chip number).
    Dead laptop after a failed BIOS update so investigating getting another reprogrammed if I can find where the chip is.
    I didn't actually want to update the BIOS - I run the Toshiba BIOS util to see what version I had installed (I think every other BIOS util I have used allows you to see this info before doing anything) - the sire lists v5.6 for XP but v2.6 for Vista (haven't heard of different BIOSes for different OS's before. The Toshiba util went straight into programming - no info, no warning.
    It's not worth the cost to replace the mobo and environmentally I would prefer to at least try the chip replacement (perhaps if anyone from Toshiba is reading this and they would prefer that environmentally it would be better to try than chuck it away, then they might feel inclined to let me know where it is!)
    Any info gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Rob

    Well Paul at Grains sent me a new programmed BIOS next day and it all worked perfectly. Being only 8 pins witha decent soldering iron it wasn't hard, and you don't even have to remove the motherboard as you can get to the PCMCIA mechanism retaining screws via the second hard disk slot.
    So to recap if you have killed your BIOS:
    You can pay a Toshiba ASP 150+VAT for a new mobo, plus 90+VAT fitting, plus 30 P&P
    or
    Get a new BIOS from GRAINS for 14 total inc P&P
    He will fit for I think about 50 plus postage, but that is still a lot cheaper and it you are out of warranty a good option.
    Hope the info helps someone else.

    No one will give you that. You only can download to update the bios you will not get the source code and any bios you download and edit is use at your own risk. And since we have no P/N no one can direct you to the BIOS update your system needs. If HP support didn't give you this information why do you think the HP user are going to have access to that information.

  • Delta-L seems to be killing BIOS chips.

    Long post, but please read.
    I had (stiil have) a Delta-L, and it ran fine about a year or so.
    After this time, ramdom/massive lockups begun.
    After some time it died (in truth the bios chip got corrupted,and SURELY it was corrput, tried everything, even took out batteryfor a day, cleaned the entire mobo).
    So i bought a BIOS chip with 5.8 bios version in it.I placed it on the board and it revived.After a day or so it died again.
    Then I bought better PSU (its a Seventeam 420, I believe it's good PSU) to run my new mobo AN7.
    Now I got a bios chip (49lf020a 2Mbit) and hot-flashed it with 5.8 bios and  Uniflash said the process was
    succesful.
    So I put the in Delta-L (now using the new PSU) but it didn't come to life (shows Red-red-green-green or maybe green-green-red-red).
    But CPU is perfect as memory is (theyre the same ones I'm using in AN7).
    I believe that using bad PSU for about a year may have damaged something in the mobo.
    Now why I believe it's killing BIOS chips.
    After the Delta_L didn't came to life, I tried to reflash it with AN7, but now UNIFLASH shows red things in the progress bar.Looked like this http://img194.echo.cx/img194/9025/imagem8nr.jpg.
    I even tried another brand new chip and it seems to have been killed by the mobo again.
    The question is..
    What is probaly damaged in the mobo??? I want at least to try replacing it.
    Of course CPU (and heatsink) and memory was placed correctly.And I don't belive it's VGA related since the code taht d-bracket shows is the same even if I take CPU or memory or VGA out, or even take the BIOS chip out.No beeps at all, nor
    bootblock trying to access floppy.I tried it outside the case to prevent any shorts.
    I believe IT MUST BE something related to BIOS cause the first time it died replacing the chip for a brand new one (with 5.8) revived it, but only for a day (and the first time it died the code in d-bracket was the same as now).

    Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 15-May-05, 08:00:16
    There are no unused stand-offs left behind the mobo, or a wire poorly isolated, pulling power all the time.
    Is the memory well in place?
    You are not sure, but might this be the lamp post  you got:
    "4 BOTH BOTTOM RED
    Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting"
    "Now I got a bios chip (49lf020a 2Mbit) and hot-flashed it with 5.8 bios and Uniflash said the process was
    succesful. So I put the in Delta-L (now using the new PSU) but it didn't come to life (shows Red-red-green-green or maybe green-green-red-red)."
    I'm tired: How did you flash the BIOS chip if it wasn't on the Delta board? What good would that do?
    I tried reinsert memo lots of times, but It seems to have nothing  to do with memo, cause no matter if I take out memo, vga, or even CPU, the d-bracket always shows the same code and no beeps at all.
    And I hot-flashed the chip with my AN7.Quote from: Glenn on 15-May-05, 08:26:18
    Yep, board's probably fried.... Get an RMA
    Is it possible for me to RMA it since the store where I bought  only gave 1 year warranty?
    How can I test those little (some are about 0.08x0.03inches and some are bigger) components to check if they-re working? At least I would have some clue on how to fix this mobo.

  • Where is the bios chip located in the Equium A210-1C4?

    Have replacement bios chip for this model, but not sure where the bios chip is located on the motherboard?
    Any assistance appreciated.

    The BIOS chip is soldered onto the mainboard, you just can't replace it. It also needs to be programmed before usage using a special EPROM machine..

    If your your thinking of messing with it doesn't matter if you find it you can't reset the password if you don't have the unlock code. And if this is a Business or Elite model that requires you contact HP support to send you a firmware to reset that password.

  • How do I get MSI to Send a New BIOS Chip? (EOM)

    .

    Hi Curbstone -
    If you are in the United States, call their technical support number at (626) 581-3001.  You'll have the best luck if you get through to a live person.  My personal experience at getting a new BIOS chip out of their California Technical Support office was that voice mail messages left at technical support result in no response, e-mail message result in no response, faxed in problem report forms result in no response.  When the line was personally answered, I had a new BIOS chip in hand three business days later, free of charge.
    If you are elsewhere in the world, click on the Contact Us link at http://www.msi.com.tw .
    Another option is to link to http://www.badflash.com and request they send you a replacement BIOS chip.  Cost is US$20 plus shipping.  It may be necessary to e-mail them the BIOS you wish to have flashed.
    The following assumes that you have a K7N420 Pro board (you don't have a sig line to tell otherwise...):
    If you know someone with an EPROM burner (or are friendly with a local electronics or computer store that has one) you can download the BIOS image of your choice and have it burned onto a new chip.  The chip is either a Winbond 49F002UP12B or a SST 49LF020. The chip is a Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (or PLCC) module. Shouldn't cost too much (maybe US$10 - 20).  You can pull the PLCC module from your board carefully using a small jewelers screwdriver or use a PLCC Chip Puller from Radio Shack - part # 276-2101 (about US$8.).

  • K9AGM2-L - where's the BIOS chip ?

    I just bought a MSI K9AGM2-L. I can't find the BIOS chip of this mainboard . Could you help me find this BIOS  ? What kind of BIOS did MSI use ?

    Quote from: HenryW on 13-April-07, 15:37:11
    I'm not quite sure on that MB as I don't have a picture of it but on the boards I have seen it is near the lower left corner. It has an AMI BIOS so look for a chip that has somthing like that printed on i.t
    Picture of K9AGM2-L:
    I think it using a new BIOS chip, maybe FLASH chip.

  • Satellite A30: Which type of chip is the Bios

    Hey all!
    I have a A30 with a bricked BIOS.
    My Question: Has it a jumper for BootBlock activation or a key-combination.
    My screen stays black and common combinations wont work.
    Other Question: which type of Chip is the bios in my notebook??
    Thanks for answers!

    As far as I know Toshiba doesnt provide such informations in the user manuals or on the webpages. So it looks like only an authorized service provider can help you.
    In my opinion the chip cannot be removed from this motherboard because its soldered!

  • BIOS CHIP NOT SOCKETED!!!???

    ARE THEY CRAZY !! A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO MY BUDDY BOUGHT A 875FIS2R AND IT HAS A SOCKETED BIOS ROM ON AUG 20TH I RECEIVED MY GORGEOUS 875FIS2R.  UPON OPENING THE BOX, THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS WHAT SEEMS TO BE A BIOS CHIP THAT IS PERMANENT.  I'VE ALREADY FLASHED MY BIOS TO VER. 1.6 USING LIVE MONITOR WITHOUT A PROBLEM, THEN I COME TO THESE THREADS AND OH MY GOD ALL THE NIGHTMARES WITH BIOS FLASHING AND THE RESULTING DEAD BOARDS.  YOU WOULD THINK MSI WOULD RATHER HAVE A BUNCH OF CHIPS RMA'D INSTEAD OF WHOLE BOARDS.  I DON'T UNDERSTAND EVERY PICTURE OF THE 865'S AND 875'S (INCLUDING THE MANUAL) HAVE SOCKETED BIOS'?  AM I MISSING SOMETHING??  NEEDLESS TO SAY MY FLASHING DAYS ARE OVER!!  TALK TO ME GUYS AND GALS - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SOCKET?  MY VIA P4B-400, WHICH I JUST TOOK OUT AND REPLACED WITH THE 875NEO EVEN HAD A SOCKET. ?(

    MSI decided to use chip-soldered BIOS chip solution to cut cost, they know that they have to cover the cost of RMA due to wrong BIOS flashing. Which again, appear to be cost-effective solution for high-volume manufacturing. There is something call BIOS recovery procedure.
    Nothing more to discuss in this thread, this is a known topic. Hence I close the thread to avoid rants.
