Hi, I just got the GQ-4X with ADP-081

Im new in this, so I try to play around. I have 2 identical laptops with soic8 (W25q80-soic8) I copy the original file to have a backup. And download different version of the Bios from HP. The file came in EXE and I extract with WinRar the BIN file.

I can identify, read, erase, write and verify the chip without problems. But the laptop will only work with the original file I got from the chip. Wen I try to use the BIN file I download from HP dont't work. I already try with different versions of BIOS and it wont work. I would like to know if Im doing something wrong, or I have to add something to the BIN/Code file before I write down.

Here is what I do:

Steps:
1.Extract the .exe file with WinRar to get the .bin file.
2.Run the software and connect the programmer.
3.Select a device from the device list which is your BIOS chip part number.(W25q80-soic8)
4.Load the .bin file into the software buffer.
5.Place your bios chip on the programmer adapter and lock it.
6.Click ID button. It should report the correct ID.
7.Then Erase->BlankCheck->Write->Verify
8.Install the BIOS in to the Motherboard

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Mike

Not all bios updaters have the full file as you would write it to the chip.

If yours is one of those, you need to flash a machine with the bios update - then dump the chip and use that dump in future.
