AITRIP EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter For 24 25 Series Flash

This one follows the flawed design where the IC woukd be exposed to 5v regardless of the jumper position. I had to mod it so that the power and data lines are now at 3.3v.Once done, it worked just fine.The clip takes a bit of fiddling around before it would give a proper connection. Once you get a knack of it, it works everything.Can't fault at all, except for the design around voltage limiting.

So I installed wrong bios update and bricked my old pc (no 2nd bios chip or USB bios port either). PC was fully dead, one second power loops.. removed my bios chip from the motherboard (as I couldn't get the clip on since the bios chip was right next to a sata port) then placed it in the adapter that fitted the winbond 25 series chip and plugged that into the programmer. Instantly read contents and directly reprogrammed correct file. Resoldered chip back onto my motherboard. PC came to life! Very happy

I’m a bit of a tech tinkerer. Trying to get the most out of my steam deck.Unfortunately, trial and error is a big part of figuring out how to push a steam deck and it turns out it’s quite easy to push it too far and end up bricking the thing!A guy on YouTube I follow called DIY Papi recommended this to directly connect on to the BIOS chip and reprogram (flash it) to an older version.Pro: This tool (and a bit of patience) saved my steam deck and saved me over £100 in sending it off to Valve to fix.Con: the power supply LED wasn’t soldered on to the mainboard - so I thought it wasn’t working for a while. Quality control probably needs a bit of work.Only bit of advice, take your time getting the pins to line up on the chip.

Good product. Does the job as described.

Worked as expected. Checked voltages first based on previous reviews and all was well. Managed to save a dead X370 motherboard thanks to this.

The media could not be loaded. It is an extremely poor quality product.First of all it is arrived in a bag without any proper protection. The pins bend on the parts.I can’t close the clip if I put a module to the socket as it is keeps opening. The USB port keeps playing and bad connection. Honestly I don’t know what quality control allowed this device to be sent out.

In my experience, the clipper just would not clip onto my BIOS chip. I ended up having to buy a separate clip with jumper cables.

Upon receipt of this device, I discovered it has a DESIGN FLAW! The data pins are tied to the 5v rail - meaning your 3.3v bios chips could (and one of mine did!) sustain damage. After some research and internet searching I came across many posts detailing how to correct it. Bottom line is that this device is flawed from the factory. Please note, I did NOT just receive a faulty product - it is an actual design flaw and these things should not really be on sale. Search google and you will find many many posts detailing the design flaw in the circuitry.
