Flashed BIOS to a bricked B450M with Asprogammer, the Chinese program CH143A didn't work for me.The only real thing of note is that I kept getting success indications on asprogrammer but the board still wouldn't boot until I left it powered off for some time. Not sure if this is normal but that was my experience.After it finally booted, the BIOS/UEFI was the version I was expecting and everything has been fine with it.

I originally got this to try and fix a server motherboard that got "bricked" by a bad BIOS update. After getting a bad flash (my mistake, I flashed the wrong thing) it wouldn't power on.Fortunately I had another identical server so I was able to use this programmer to read the Winbond chip from that one and write it to the faulty system, and that fixed it. Awesome!In my case I was fortunate that using the SOIC8 clip adapter worked fine, but I know in some cases you might have to remove the chip. I'm just glad I didn't have to because I've never done SMD work.Since that repair I've done other things with this, just reading the BIOS chips of anything I could get my hands on. In many cases I've had to fiddle with the clip adapter to get it to work, but eventually it will. Maybe getting a higher quality clip adapter in the future would help, but if you're persistent, you might have good luck.I also purchased separately a SOIC16 adapter since I had to read a 16-pin chip for another project, and the reader worked fine with that too.As a tip, lookup the part # of the chip you're reading and figure out what voltage it uses so you'll know whether to use the 1.8V adapter or not, etc. It'll just save you some guesswork.Overall this is a great little tool for the person who knows what it does and how to use it.

This little machine is amazing. I was in the process of updating my brothers bios until all of a sudden the computer shut down and would not boot back up. Unfortunately, I did not have a laptop, so I went ahead and was able to stack the motherboard up and reach the bios chip and connect with my PC. I used a CH341 program, but it wasn't working initially since I had the clips on backwards, also you will need the driver for the device since the machine was showing it as unrecognized device. The driver can be found online. Great product!

Helped me rewrite and erase efi chip on my iMac, hardware worked great, software online took some work to find to work properly for my application.

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.

I was skeptical with this programmer being cheap. Had to find drivers for this device but wasn’t hard with a quick google search.For the record I replaced the instrument cluster in my 2010 4.0 v6 mustang with a cluster from a premium 2010 4.0 mustang. This added two more gauges and had the mycolor features on the cluster.(to even get to that point a new dash harness is required as well as the info/setup/reset switch, PATS programming with new cluster installed, and asBuilt data from a 2010 premium v6 VIN programmed with ForScan for the Instrument Cluster Module to enable the features on the cluster.)With that done, the only issue was the mileage being incorrect. This new cluster had 60,000+ fewer miles on it. Which is no big deal as long as you don’t plan on selling it without proper documentation and door jamb sticker. But for me it was just personal preference. I hated not knowing the true mileage without having to do calculations every time.I came across similar videos on YouTube on how to do this mileage correction and decided to take a shot at it as I wouldn’t be out much money. Once I had the driver installed and the CH341A Programmer software ready I connected the clip to the chip without needing to desolder it and it read the data allowing me to save as a .bin to use with tachosoft online mileage calculator. Then I was able to program the new data to the chip and have my mileage correct for about $40 total.I also disassembled the cluster in my 2012 5.0 GT to verify that the same 24C16 chip is used and should also work on any 2010-2014 mustang.

This is my first EEPROM programmer. I knew I needed a CH341A, nut not much else. Turns out this has all the extra pieces the instructions I was following called for. Worked just fine for me on multiple chips so far, I'm sure will do just fine in 10 years.

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

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