hi everybody I have just received my programmer today GQ-4x the reason for buying this was to reprogram bios chips on laptops as I own a computer repair shop. so first chip I took is from a Toshiba a300d, after great effort I managed to read the numbers on this chip which were F80-7HCP. To my disappointment there was no match for this chip in the device so I could not go any further .. so take another Mb which was an Acer locate the bios chip read the number and to my supprice it was same again , I only reason for buying this is so I can fix laptop MB I know all of them will not have same chip as I have already tested a few winbond chips with no problems.
so my question is the F80-7HCP readable with GQ-4x? And if not is it possible add it to the device as I think I will be working this chip quit a lot. thank you
F80-7HCP is not standard chip manufacture part number. This is why it is not in the supported list. But I think there is a great chance to read and write with the GQ-4X.
Try to select the EN25F80 from the software and see if it can get the chip ID correctly.
hi thank you for your reply I have I did what you said and have managed to read the chip . so am I correct in thinking as I have managed to read the chip there I should have no problems in writing the bios to it.
also please could you advice as where would the best place to look for laptop bios files .
ls the f80-7hcp is readable with GQ-4x
