one last ditch effort, maybe - pin 3s pad on the bios seems burned off - I believe it's a write protect pin, can I wire it to a spot on the board if the pad is burned off?

Thanks again - I replaced the bios chip and it's programmed, but no luck - yhe machine won't power, so im guessing something was shorted when I shorted the bios itself. :( I'll probably look at it as I get some time, but I need a laptop for sp many things, im going to buy a new one since I...

oh yeah, you won't see it - it's been scratched up too much. I know its a winbond 25Q128JVSQ - I've flashed it a few times over the years. You've been very helpful and I appreciate it! hate to ask a non bios question but im going to, hoping you might know. I've attached a picture, do you...

I have the correct chip coming and while I thought i could read and write to the chip, I just tried a write with a verify and it fails - so im guessing the chip is one issue now. I checked the voltage and the chip reads 2.7v, so it's lower than the expected 3.3v. Attaching a screenshot of...

Hey - Yeah, I should have thought about trying the razer flash once I was in windows but instead, while on a crisis call with work - I was multitasking and when flashing the clip jumped and shorted the bios chip. I can still read and write to it, but the machine won't power at all now. I have...

Oh, one more thing - after I reset my pin, Windows Hello worked fine - but now the system has other issues (aside from the boot issues). Graphics are still fried all over the place, and at idle the CPU is up to 90C, maxed at 97C, after being at the desktop for about 1 minute - fans also ramped...

Thanks for the file - It looks like a similar one that was posted in another request, which I did try yesterday, later in the day and the one in this reply has the same issue that one had. First, it didnt boot right away - The laptop would power (big plus from the previous BIOS I had - which...

Took off the heat sink hoping it would show more, but I don't see anything on the MB??

Yeah I looked at the MB and didn't see much - then I remembered under the battery had some information, not sure it's what you need but attached, as is the model and serial from the bottom of the unit. Also a pic from the box that had some ID in it.

Thanks - saw your other reply and I'll work from that post.

Apologies - Not sure where the info you need is located - The back of the laptop only has the serial number on it - and Im not sure where the board code is located on the MB? I'm attaching a few pics just in case...

I need to flash my Razer since I had a Bios corruption and I used to have a backup, but that laptop had issues last year and I lost all of my files. Hoping someone has a BIOS I could flash - Not sure what else would be needed?? Its the i7, RTX 3080 early 2021 model. Thanks@

Should there be files in the post? I could use these :)
