ssj92 Posted yesterday at 06:47 PM Posted yesterday at 06:47 PM Anyone know the exact location of the bios chip for M17xR3 and have a pic? Trying to see exactly where it's at before full disassembly. Maybe @sliderfra ? EDIT: Found it! requires removing palm rest and the black sticky stuff. U48 is bios (4Mb) Winbond 25Q32BV I'll upload a recovery bios and ec later based on my a13 bios in a bit.

sliderfra Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago hi, there's a BIOS crisis recovery method that works well on m17x r3 / r4 or m18x r1 / r2. It only requires USB thumbdrive. CH341a also works, but requires disassembly of the laptop.
