Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR - 330S_ARR_V06

[gusto]

I have the exact same laptop as the others, Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR - 330S_ARR_V06.

I have exactly the same problem as everyone else. I turn on the laptop and see the power led. I can hear the CPU fan, but the screen is black.

If I understood correctly, I need a CH341A programmer. With the help of the programmer, I have to get the flood bin from the chip.
I load the flood bin and bin from the manufacturer into the hex editor.
From the old bin, I copy what is important (uuid, product name, sn, etc.) to the manufacturer's bin.
I burn this resulting bin into the chip using the programmer.

Did I write it correctly?

Yes, thats correct.

I want to buy a programmer in a local e-shop. In NTB I have this BIOS 25q64fwsig. This BIOS supposedly works at 1.8V. Do I also need a 1.8V adapter for the programmer?
The eshop shows that the programmer also supports WINBOND W25Q64.

yes, if the chip works at 1.8v...

I ordered this programmer and I am waiting for delivery. I've read this thread and now I'm confused 🤔

Your original file is full of 00 bits, reread the chip.

Hello, I would like to ask a question. After a lot of problems with the delivery company, I finally received the programmer (see # 145 post). However, when I looked at the chip, I found out that it is not CH341A, but CH341B (the eshop declared CH341A).
Will this programmer also work?

I used flashrom in Linux for the dump. I read the bios 3 times and got the same dump files (verified via md5sum). I read the whole forum, but I'm afraid to edit the file in the hex editor so I don't mess something up.
My NTB is a Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR - 330S_ARR_V06. Winbound 25q64fws10 is written on the bios.
Could someone help me with bios editing?

Thank you. I followed your instructions in post #29.
First, I downloaded the official bios for my NTB from lenovo's website.
I'm not sure if I extracted the bios bin correctly from the exe file.
I used the 7zip program to extract. From the extracted files, it seems that bin will be this file [0] (6575 Kb). However, when I open file [0] in HxD, I don't like it at all (I am attaching file [0]).
Can you please check if [0] is really correctly extracted from the exe file?

you have to use innoextract to get bios image from update. Then edit with any hex editor to get right length - 8.388.608 bytes. Then transfer DMI.

try this one:

I used innoextractor and extracted bios.cap, but there was no match out of 8,388,608 bytes.
So I uploaded the one you gave me to the bios. I started NTB and it works great.

I would like to ask again.
Using innoextract in Linux, I extracted this from the exe file

-rw-rw-r-- 1 gusto gusto  465912 dec 18  2019 WinFlash64.exe

If you notice the BIOS.cap has 8946928 bytes. However, the file BIOS.bin.zip that you uploaded to the forum has 8388608 bytes.

Am I making a mistake somewhere when I open BIOS.cap in the hex editor?
Do I still need to do something with BIOS.cap?

Hello,
I read all this thread again and again, bought a.programer and managed to read my corrupted chip. I extracted all required data and put them on one of the template Bios from this forum.
But now I can't seem to write the chip with the new bios. I think that I may have burnt it :/ The software can't detect it.

What can I do ?
Buy a new chip and try to replace it on the motherboard ?
Is there a way to confirm that the current chip is burnt ?
Thanks
