Thank you. I hope these ones are ok.

@Hirosake - Both of those programmer dumps are 100% corrupted too.
Looks like you are not doing something correctly with the programmer, all those should be OK for read 1.18, ASProgrammer, and Colibri (using BV ID)
Not sure what could be wrong, maybe wrong driver, or cable is moving, or not enough power (is USB cable extra long, if you're using a USB Cable?)
Or, maybe you need to put in main battery or PSU cable, if you do not have them in there now. If not, try again with just main battery first

Do you want to wait, and get some more dumps, to be sure you get a good one, before we go ahead with trying to get past 167, or just go ahead and try software route?
Trying to bypass 167 wont brick anything, so no worries there. Be sure, before you dumped vars and or BIOS with programmer etc, that you have the following done >> Secure Boot disabled, TPM/encryption disabled, and no BIOS password set
Did you have any of that not done when trying to dump with programmer? It shouldn't cause corrupted BIOS dump, but just curious.
If vars was dumped with any of that enabled/set, then you need to make new vars dump once you disable all that first.

@Lost_N_BIOS Merry Christmas. Please take a break and relax...working xmas day

I will try again with internal battery hooked up for another dump.
No to usb cable, tmp/encryption, secure boot and bios password. None of that.
Im using ch341PAR driver...I have ch341Par 2.2 but dont think I have tried that yet.


Please lets go the software route...sneak past 167.
But dont rush...enjoy your holidays.
Thank you

Bump

@Lost_N_Bios
Sorry I havent tried new bios dump yet......crazy time christmas

@Lost_N_BIOS

Hi, Thanks but this is no longer required. I blew up motherboard. Connected spi while main battery was still installed and fried power integrated circuit. Now looking for someone to do micro electronics repair.


Thanks anyway

@Hirosake - Sorry to see this! Main battery connected with SPI should not short or blow anything out, this is normal to do/try and some require it even
So, something else must have been shorted/backwards etc Sorry to see this happen!

Its cool. All care but no responsibility.
I know the spi flash tool works on my 1070 mxm video card...out of the pc.....but for all I know it could be wired backwards (its not but some of those jumper pins I have no idea)

cheers

"Jumper Pins" What do you mean, on the clip? If yes, they should all be correct, unless you made your own clip/cable?
If you mean jumper on the CH341A itself, that should be on position 1-2

I tried this aswell. And I got error code 167
