This was my motherboard. Many thanks to Adamant IT for fixing it after Asus refused the RMA. Background: The motherboard went into the "flashing zero zero" after a trivial BIOS change. It had been functioning perfectly up until that point. Each component in the system was tested independently to prove it was a motherboard issue. The USB flashback method did not work. The fixed motherboard is now back in a case and working as expected. Top Job. The world needs Adamant IT to fix more things.
@@MrShwaggins Don't know how many times I keep saying that to my buddy... but more along the lines of "if your rig is working, don't pull the pin on the bios update, it'll blowback"
@@BeezyKing99 If you want a power failure at the worst time, just make sure you don't have a UPS and are updating firmware or BIOS on anything. 90% chance of success
These videos of yours are great! I learn something new and useful every single time, and the way you deliver the information is perfect. Don't. Ever. Stop.
Excellent Video Adamant!: Very concisely explained and executed. I found this very helpful. We use motherboards on our analyzers and this gives me tools to recover a board that has been corrupted. More options at our disposal now. Thank you!
Thanks. That was fun to watch for someone who does not do this for a living. I enjoy the process you go through and the way you explain it. Thanks again.
Thanks, that is a great intro into the programmer, the HDMI ISP flashing looks like a really game changer for bad monitor flash repairs (assuming its reasonably universally supported).
You explain everything so easily, nice job, my progress in understanding laptop repair basically came from watching one of your videos, tell you the truth, I had a headache all day after watching that video cos I had been trying for over 6 months to understand what I was learning but couldn’t, then I stumbled on that video, your video was an eye opener and sent headache straight into my brain, took a long sleep after that, woke up and my eyes were open to see things I’ve been missing all along, need I say it was a good headache (wheeew) Thank you so very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have owned an RT809F for some time but didn't have a clue how to use it. Thanks to your superb video, I have been able to revive an ASUS B85M-G motherboard. The symptoms were a POST message indicating that CMOS settings needed to be recovered. After pressing the key indicated, a blank screen would appear and the system would be completely unresponsive. In this case, the chip was in a socketed DIP-8 package so removal and reinstallation were easy. In fact, no adapters were necessary - the chip plugged straight into the device! It seems that sporadic BIOS corruption can occur, since I know the owner of this computer wouldn't have tried to update his BIOS. He found it working one day and not the next.
VGA IN is for passthrough so that you can test monitors there are test tools under the tool menu, great video, when getting into laptop bios it get very interesting, where you would need to copy serial numbers , board numbers and windows keys 👍
Fabulous 👌 👏, The beauty of this video is lovely, descriptive and very informative , Thanks Brother..Your efforts to create such videos from you is👌 Fantastic , Keep it always up
Very helpful man...thank you so much for going in-depth about these. I do have a EVC2 from Elmorlabs and a clip...thankfully I never had to use it (although I tested it and works) :)
Jumper cables for bread boards will fit on the pins. One side female and the other male. Buzz it out with a multi meter for pinout. This would be handy if you dont have a soldering iron.
better use female-female cable combined with standard 8 pin adapter that you get (or can just buy 20 of them for about $1) with all these zif's programmers. It will be easier for use.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have a couple of the CH341A programmers that came with the SOP8 clips and I haven't had any problems using them on most devices that support ISCP. The motherboards that do have a JTAG like connector probably has a pin that tells the IC, that is connected to the SPI Flash chip, to stay in a tri-state/high impedance mode. This allows for the ability for ISCP to work. I am also in the retro computer area and I know some hardware people that use some FPGA devices that use a SPI flash to hold the firmware as well and they have a jumper so you can use the clip on the 25Q80BV SOP8 chip to program it. In the cases where you can't find pinouts for the JTAG like port to program the flash chip then it is probably easier to just go ahead and desolder the chip then backup the chip and reprogram it with current BIOS image. I have one of the newer CH341A v1.7 programmers on its way, but I think I will go ahead and order one of these as well. The extra adapters that come with the RT809F look like they could be very useful.
That is a very standard pinout on that header by the looks of it. I am very surprised to even see it actually, they usually don't include the JTAG header in the final release of the board. The programmer that I used was a Dediprog, I do not recommend it unless you are willing to lay down serious money. You can indeed find the inexpensive model (Ee100) for $100 or less (I used the SF100 for BIOS programming), which isn't a bad price, but this is only for the programmer. The company does not give away the software even if you have the hardware. There are full levels of different types of software at their own price points. Definitely a case of getting what you pay for though. Their products are capable of programming pretty much everything that ever existed or will exist, but you have to purchase the hardware/software for it, they do not have a hobby grade or even "partially pro" kit the last time I checked. Times change though so who knows? If you want a "good" clip (as good as they ever get anyway) check into 3M, Pomona, or Mueller brands and do NOT get these off amazon or ebay, there are far to many fakes to know if you are getting what you want. Go straight to whatever passes for an industrial electronics supplier in your country. I personally use Digikey or Mouser in the US, I don't purchase from the cheap suppliers for electronic components when it matters to me.
Hello there buddy ,, great video as usual ... only think is that when connecting to the chip trough VGA ISP ,, the monitor should be OFF :) but in the main outlet.
I use the same device to program keys to VW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, because in those cars you have to do it via eeprom. I'm a professional locksmith by the way and also an electronics and computers enthusiast big time.
I also had pretty much no luck with the clips, but then one time I realised you actually must turn on the system in order for the clip to work! This is because the power supply in the programmer can't power the chip plus whatever is connected to it on the motherboard! (In my case I get overcurrent error) For power cycling boards like this though, you need a paper clip to jump-start the psu so the psu never shuts off
I would advise you buy a buspirate v3 or a busblaster as a tool for reprogramming, both handle spi chips as well as lpc bios and jtag for router recovery. both have well documented tools for this as well as special tools for doing recovery work from some chips(emmc, sd cards) . They also double up as serial interface. the buspirate will also act as many other devices (uart,spi,i2c,jtag,sdcard & more), open source software is well supported and windows/linux gui/non-gui versions of many programs exist. bonus is both devices also compatible with sigrok logic analyzer.
hi love all your work on RUclips please keep it up , but can i be a nuisance ask where you downloaded the RT809F software to run it as i just get the run round
My X79 Ranger VII did the old 00 Boot loop, I did everything, I wish I just ordered a new Bios Chip and reprogrammed it. bought a replacement mobo in the end jus to save the headache.
I just unlocked my ransom firmware locked mac mini, this at first did not remedy the problem, it was no longer firmware locked but the ransom page was still showing after each boot - clearing the Reset NVRAM or PRAM solved that issue. Option, Command, P, and R. I used the ch341a isp/ICSP with the 3.3v fix and flashed it using flashrom. the device comes bare skin i would recommand conformal coating - i already shorted out one of them.
Hi Graham if you búy adapter you can also flash SIO chips or KBC CHIP like the ENE chip. Just to inform you. I like your channel. Keep up the good work Regards Steve from Belgium
i just purchased the vivo book 17 the keys on the key board are impossible to see unless under direct light gray with thin black lettering ..the strain on the eyes is getting very hard to deal with. very disappointed by ASUS not fixing this problem before retailing this computer. is there a fix?
The video port contains I²C bus for DDC. You can actually use the I²C bus for anything else I²C other than DDC. I have experimented about getting I²C from my laptop and be able to use raspberry pi/arduino I²C stuff directly with my laptop, like GPIO Extender and else.. maybe it explains why we can read/flash rom chip inside the monitor via the video cable? If you run Linux and type "sudo ii2cdetect -L" it might shows your monitor's i2c address and bus
BTW, i dont know if any1 ever told you or commented here but pin 1 is actually marked with that white trace next to the solder pad, also, most of the times u have a dot on the bord or a larget white trace on the side pad
The IPS. Since it is made in China is a spelling mistake. They mean to have The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) . They just spell it backwards. But this is a great video. Good Job man!!!
You videos are very inspiring! I would like to ask (or anybody experienced enough here) where can be the problem: I have a board MSI 970A-G43 (AM3+ equpped with Winbond 25Q64FVSIG bios chip). The board is running but is unable to retain the UEFI (BIOS) setting. When good CR2032 battery is installed the clock and date is ticking OK but after any kind of restart/reset/saving bios attempt I am prompted to "press F2" and set the bios again. Reflashing the bios in an ordinary way did not help. It seems to have the latest version flashed. Is there any chance to save the board? It the chip saving the setting as well? It is an old board but I wish to use it for a PC to donate my friends childern. Thank you! Best.
Just thought I would also add... One of those adapters has a 7 pin header that would have plugged directly into the JTAG on the motherboard. Just an 8 pin ribbon cable would've got the job done. Of course you have to own the cable with connectors on it heh
Hi Adamant, I have an old bios chip (Dip8, PDIP - 300mil - MX 25L8005PC-15G) from a 2008 asus motherboard, can I insert it directly on the programmer (without an additional adapter) ?
I'm a technician for you. and I have a sony vaio which posts normally the voltages are ok 19v & 5v3.2v on the monitor connector (I tested the monitor on the same machine and it is ok) and the monitor does not turn on. any idea what could be wrong. also I have the same machine which opens win normally and stays on the desktop and does not listen to any device (usb mouse, keyboard, network, etc.) could it be the bios? Thank you in advance for the nice videos
I have had issues flashing Asus "CAP" files directly and have had to remove the actual BIN files from the CAP package 1st using my cheap flash writer. Do you think this flasher or software is ignoring the 2kb header of the CAP and writing just binary BIOS ?
The log said that it 'converted' it, so I'm guessing that's the case, yea. Now that you mention it I don't think I've manually re-programmed an Asus board before, so this would've been the first time I've actually flashed a CAP file. I've seen some tips from people about converting these though, so looks like there's a few ways around it like you suggest!
You can easily beep out the pin header against the pins of the chip. IDK if ordinary Dupont (Arduino style) cables will fit on the pins, I suspect the pins are too small. But when you have that pin header sitting there, it's almost a shame not to use it. Of course if your programmer is not able to drive the chip while it's in circuit, it wont help. But if the programmer is any good, I suppose it should work?
Dumb question, if a motherboard had a HDMI/VGA connector, would connecting this device using the HDMI/VGA cable also work in the same way as the monitor hook up? potentially saving you doing any soldering at all?
There looks like a JTAG pin header above the chip, I have a programmer that has a JTAG interface so the chip can be programmed without soldering, but not sketchy like the clips. This is the method manufacturers use to program (and test) chips on the production line.
@@mitsos1461 It's a TL866II Plus. Made by XGECU, (several companies re-badge it). The interface on this is an ICSP, (in-circuit-serial-programmer), The expensive Dataman programmer that I used at work had a JTAG interface, which can do boundary-scan testing, but I used it solely for in-circuit-programming. There was a chip that I had trouble programming, so the engineers at Dataman wrote an update to the algorithm for me, and this programmed the chip successfully. I can't justify the cost of a Dataman for myself, and the cheap one should cover most use cases. I hope you find this helpful, Google has a lot of hits for programmers, but it's best not to go too cheap.
I've been dabbling in rebuilding laptop batteries, but not had anything to show for it yet. It's only really worth the effort if it's a really rare battery IMHO.
