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.

Wind u160 Need to locate my bios chip

HELP!!! So I purchased a new bios chip for my wind u160 but now I am staring at the mother board wondering where the hell I solder out the old and solder in the new. I have attached a photo of my board

It's better to contact the service center and let them help with the work or PM those people who has experienced.

BIOS Chip TOSHIBA Satellite L305D-S59222

im trying the locate the bios chip on this laptop. can some one help me out.

If you are trying to reset a password or clear a bios that won't do a darn thing and could damage the bios chip. You need to use the cmos clear pins and for security reasons Toshiba does not disclose their locations to end users. Only authorized service centers have access to that information.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

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..

Where is the BIOS chip located on MSI B75A-G41

I need to replace the bios-chip on MSI B75A-G41. Anyone know where the chip is located?

I thought the BIOS would be the chip with the red dot on it like on other MSI MBs.

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.

BIOS wiped! Where do I get a new chip? (in UK ... K8N Neo Plat v1.7)

Aaaaaaargh! I've just wiped my BIOS and now my PC won't post (just a blank screen). Where in the UK can I get a new BIOS chip (or get mine reprogrammed)?
What I need is: v1.7 for K8N Neo Platinum
How did this happen?... I upgraded to v1.9 yesterday (using MSI Live Update), started to have problems/crashes today (like sooo manay folks!!!), so tried to reflash back to v1.7 (using floppy - combination of Win98 boot and v1.7 flash files). The reflash app seemed to work OK... until I restarted the PC
Cheers,
Colin.
P.S.
As much as I love this mobo I'm starting to lose patience with it. Had it for approx 6 months and when it's stable it's great. However 3 months has been spent fighting niggles, instabilities, and crashes

Folks,
Many thanks for the replies. I'll save those URLs/contacts for future reference.
Turns out I managed to breath life back into my mobo! Seems like the BIOS CMOS got really screwed over... the first CMOS clear I tried after the BIOS flash didn't work, but today I was being stubborn and tried another CMOS clear (this time with mainspower cord removed, and the "clear CMOS" jumper left in place for 30 mins while I had diner!).
Things seem stable now.
Cheers,
Colin.
P.S.
With hindsight I think the problems I was originally seeing were probably not due to BIOS v1.9 . My guess now is that they were caused by my sound card doing "weird stuff" while playing TOCA2 (Terratec DMX6fire ... an uninstall then reinstall with the same driver seems to have cured that). Still, based on what I read in this forum I'm in no rush to upgrade to BIOS v1.9 !!!

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.

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.

Macbook Pro 8,2 (2011) - Unable to locate a BIOS ROM

Hi, everyone! I've had pretty good luck getting Arch running on my MBP 8,2 with hybrid graphics, using the integrated intel device. However, I'd very much like to be able to use VGA switcheroo and have an external display available.
I've extracted the vbios and int10 files as described here:
dentifrice.poivron.org/laptops/macbookpro8,2
And placed those files in /boot, as suggested (as well as /lib/firmware/radeon). I can manually load the firmware in GRUB via loadbios without throwing any errors, and everything seems to work as planned. However, when I load the radeon module up, this is what appears:
[10106.929747] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.

I've searched just about everywhere I can think of, and have even tried the vbios and int10 files from others' MBP8,2 in case mine was bad (booted into a liveCD using BIOS emulation and did the extraction). Everything else is working great, and I'd hate to have to go back to OSX just because of this.
In case it's relevant, I'm using linux-mainline (3.7-rc1) built from AUR, with the default options. My GRUB boot line looks like this:
menuentry 'Arch GNU/Linux, with Linux mainline kernel' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-mainline kernel-true-d00b9933-ff02-4c0a-89f1-00fed33e0841' {

I'd appreciate any help! I'm totally stuck here.

Update: I have now tried compiling vbios.bin and int10.bin directly into the kernel. No success.

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
Thanks,
Ian

Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
So keep that in mind. ;)

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)
