BIOS BIN for Acer Aspire 3 A315-41-R8TH (Model no. N17C4)

Hi heveryone!

I'm here to ask you guys about a problem I've been having with a laptop I just recieved. I came to the conclusion that the BIOS might be bricked.
Initially the PC did turn on, the fan span for a second, the blue light was on, then the screen was barely noticeable while turning on and off, so after searching online on local and other forums I found some other people having the same issue and saying it was a bricked BIOS. I have no idea what caused it because I recieved this device in a non funcioning state.
I will attach the bin file I was able to exctract from what I think is the BIOS chip(see image attached), and couldn't find a replacement file anywhere, at least one that was compatible.
Now the PC just restarts constantly but that might be because I removed the NVME aswell as playing with the BIOS chip, or who knows I might have damaged the hardware.

Thanks in advice to everyone who is willing to help!😉

I have CH341A with CH341A Programmer.exe 134

Some files I found online resulted in the software telling me they were too big(will be ignored) while AsProgrammer didn't work at all.
Let me know if anything else is needed.

Yes it is the serial number. I noticed a problem with your backup, the file is only 1MB ,the problem is with the Auto-detect setting of the CH341A ,i guess it didn`t recognise the chip part number so it chose a 1MB chip instead. Use NeoProgrammer software, ive attached a copy. What is the part number etched on top of the chip ? ,choose the chip manually from the support list, don`t use auto-detect and make another backup

The chip has this written on it(should be correct, it's really small):

XMC QU64AHIG P1K76500 35 18260

The only available back up I have is the one I've sent, assuming it did backup successfully I then erased the chip content, so If the bin I uploaded is screwed I fear I do not have a proper backup.

The chip is supported by NeoProgrammer. It`s 1.8V so use a 1.8V adapter . You can use the bios in this post, it will have a different serial number,but you should have a working laptop if the bios is the only problem --> https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...82#post3267482

it seems the rewriting was a success, the PC went back to being on but there is no display out put, on the laptop screen and also on an external monitor, it seems the problem wasn't a bricked BIOS, I'm still happy I kinda figured how to use the programmer, who knows if I'm gonna have to use it in the future, thanks for your time and help, I really appreciate it.
