@Lost_N_BIOS I did BIOS dumps with ch341 program 1.30 and 1.34 (using this id W25Q128FV) and I also did a dump with ASProgrammer 1.40 (using the same ID as previous)
I had verification error with 1.30 and 1.34 doesn't seem to do any verification at all :/

Here is the link: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...109433948122746

That link that I provide is the link for the genuine seller. He is apparently the one who also does the program but he gives it only to people who buy the "genuine" programmer and not the others
I wanted to buy one(0.25€) from there to have the software but I didn't find a way to make the purchase

@Lost_N_BIOS Did you found something?

@Kronos128 - sorry I seem to have missed this once it came back up with your updates. Yes, for W25Q128FV you need to use ASProgrammer. I thought you said you had QH128AHIG?

I was in the correct submodule, and had those edits marked out to try next once you were ready too

@Lost_N_BIOS Hello, it's been a long time since I have written something on this forum, let's change that

I didn't want to start a new topic just for this...

I have a little problem and some questions:

1) I cannot change the PL1 to 56.250W and PL2 to 70W in the modded BIOS. I mean it doesn't do anything no matter the value. It should work since in the software of the Acer predator helios 500 with the same CPU it can be changed with these values.

2) I was also wondering if it is a good thing to update the Intel ME FW and do I lose anything if doing that like let's say encryption.

3) I saw something about modding the vBios to remove power limit of the GPU instead of doing the shunt mod. Can this be done? If yes what hardware do I need?

[EDIT]: What is GOP driver in bios should/can it be updated or it doesn't matter?



Info: Acer Aspire A717-72G
Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (GP106)

@Lost_N_BIOS I found this for modding the GPU vBIOS since my laptop has basically the same components as a helios 300 but I don't know how it's done.

@ndthtnt Do you already have your Bios backup and your Modded Bios? If so you need to use ASProgrammer and not CH341A software. Careful never flash someone else Bios or skip any step. You should really open a new thread so @Lost_N_BIOS can help you.

Thank you for replying back,

I have just managed to fix it with NeoProgrammer 2.1.0.19 after lots of other version trials. Seem this version of Neo and 1.38 version of Ch341 programmer could detect the xmc xm25qh128ahig, but the Neo could manage the writing back.

Thank you. Wish you a nice day. Also hope Lost_N_BIOS being good as he's offline for a month...

@ndthtnt I am not sure about the success of those two. But what I have used and know to work is ASProgrammer (link) for read and write. Don't forget to erase the chip every time before flashing. May I also ask why you doing this mod?

Yes, Lost_N_BIOS, didn't reply to a topic since January 2021 I just saw, hopefully he is doing well.
