  • BIOS file with correct machine code, correct capacity
  • Compatible ROM loading software

⚠️ Notes Before Loading BIOS

  • Make sure to get the correct BIOS file: correct series, correct chipset (HM65, HM70, HM76...)
  • ROM chip capacity is usually 4MB, 8MB, 16MB - need to check carefully
  • Should save the old BIOS file before overwriting to restore if needed

📌 Steps to Rescue Dead BIOS Mainboard

  1. Step 1: Determine the location of the BIOS chip on the mainboard (usually the SOP8 chip near the chipset).
  2. Step 2: Use a clip or remove the chip to load it externally using a BIOS loading machine.
  3. Step 3: Run the software, read the BIOS test now, check the ID code.
  4. Step 4: Load the BIOS file with the correct machine code, load it into the chip.

💡 Technician Tips:

  • Use a meter to measure the VCC pin of the BIOS chip to see if it has enough 3.3V before loading
  • If the computer displays but does not recognize the hard drive or keyboard – it may be due to a BIOS error in the region EC
  • Some lines (like Dell) can restore BIOS with a shortcut key when booting: Ctrl + Esc + plug in the charger

🎯 When Can't Save BIOS?

  • BIOS chip is burned, exploded, lost pins
  • Main has EC error or chipset does not supply power to BIOS
