Installing Drivers & Software for the USB Bios Chip Programmer CH341A (Black Edition) By:NSC

[@Britec09]

Thanks for taken the time to share your experiences with this USB tool. Your English was fine, no need to apologise, its better than my German lol

[@NSC-Modz]

Hehe You Welcome ;)

[@zackylou5115]

This device has 2 operation modes. The mode selection is based on the jumper placement. Jumper pin 1 & pin 2 -> programming mode. As you well described. Jumper pin 2 & pin 3 -> serial TTL mode. We can directly connect pin TXD, RXD, and pin GND (3 wires) to a serial port of another device.

[@NSC-Modz]

That's right, you got it to the point :)

[@abrahamalviarez5870]

Kind Sir, THANK YOU! this video helped me A LOT for saving my Asus maximus iv gen Z from the trash, this kind of videos helps to make the earth a better place and reduce electronic waste. Thank you thank you and thank you!!!!!!!!! people like you makes youtube an awesome place!

Even though you posted this several years ago, it is still a huge help to us who are having troubles with BIOS (in my case, on a LattePanda Alpha - the flash to the new BIOS went badly and I bricked the device). My biggest issue was getting the menu system in my CH341A in English - and YOU solved it!! Many thanks - was pulling my hair out. cheers

I bought this exact black bios flasher because my lg tv 55EG910T -TB died i have been told to try reflash flash the chip since there is power standby and the hardware all seems to be ok. Only your video is the only one i saw and now i am very clear on how to proceed.Before i do thank you very much for the video .Its one of the best clear cut explnatory videos i have seen .I have suscribed and given you thumbs up.Cheers and thank you again.

[@victorso233]

1. Position of the Tab: It is written on the circuit board. 1-2 for programming and 2-3 for TTL. Unfortunately written in Chinese 2. The Up or Down connection: It is also shown in the circuit board. Top is for 25 and down is for 24. For most bios, it is 25 chip and one must select 25 SPI Flash in the software.

[@NSC-Modz]

[@NSC-Modz]

You very welcome

[@dalemarkwell1171]

Thanks for the video. I don't have this programmer (yet). Nor have I downloaded the software yet. But there is one thing that seems obvious to me, just from watching your video... Problem #2, Wrong Chip Placement in Socket Depicted in the First Version of the Software (that you used)... @ 10:46 - The type (in the first software) is set to "24 EEPROM". @ 14:00 - The bottom of the programmer shows the upper bank = "BIOS 25 SPI", and the lower bank = "EEPROM 24 I2C". @ 16:32 - The type (in the second software) is set to "25 SPI FLASH". I would bet you 25 cents that both software versions will properly show (in the lower-left graphic) the correct orientation and placement of the chip, if the correct chip type is chosen. I could be wrong about that, but I doubt it. Once I get the device, I'll test that. I plan to use this device on HT24LC32 chips (which can also be written to by the end device). It's obvious to me that 24 series EEPROMS would use that lower bank, that was incorrect for your 25 series BIOS chip. Still, a very helpful video, after I jumped to about the ten minute mark. Pins 1 & 2 was it? LOL (Sorry, I couldn't help myself)

[@dalemarkwell1171]

I now have the device and have tested my "pre-ownership" theory... mostly. The video never really tells exactly what the first software was, you know, the one that you abandoned. However, I did download and test the version of the software that you provided the link to (thank you for that). My original theory was proven correct in the second software version (the one that you ended up using). When the type is toggled between "24 EEPROM" and "25 SPI FLASH", the graphical representation in the lower-left does indeed show the correct orientation and placement of the chip for each type. It's hard to believe how little $$$ you can get these devices for. Mine was around 6 bucks. And your links to the files made it easy. I just used the file that pre-installs the driver, the file that installs the main software... and it just all worked. I installed on a Win XP 32 bit laptop. Works like a charm. Thank you for putting it all together and providing the links.

[@NSC-Modz]

@@dalemarkwell1171 Hello I just saw your comment right now and yes you are right about the Chip position, first you need select the chip type, then you will be able to see the chip position, but on the time i did this video i was very new to this tool to, so i didn't know a lot my self on how to use this program. Best Regards

[@commadore129]

Thanks your video saved my bios chip. $5 programmer well worth it.

[@NSC-Modz]

Oh yes :)

[@nicknackthenoo]

Jumper 1 /2 are for the serial CH341SER and 2 /3 is for the Parallel CH341PAR. Totally different drivers for different pin connections. Could be the other way round but you can mess at your leisure.

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you to and you always welcome :)

[@randyking3691]

This is the most common issue with the CH341a Black (JUMPER IN THE WRONG POSITION)

[@NSC-Modz]

Yep

[@kircanov]

In arriving package position, jumper position is on TTL. This meaning from USB you need connected wires from USB to by description on the bottom programmer PINS. If you can seen 1-2 meaning (USB Normal) 2-3 TTL then come TX0, RX0, GND and 5V. From other side come output pins (5V, 3.3V, GND, MIOS, MOSI, CS and CLK). With this pins you can connect FLASH or EEPROM with wires to ic pins without de-soldering. More information about TTL Cable: www.kiwi-electronics.nl/usb-to-ttl-serial-kabel?lang=en

[@laurentiumusteata5567]

Hello Dejan, If I understand correctly you say it is possible to rewrite BIOS while is still on the motherboard. Can you give more details about the procedure?

[@andreika6681]

@@laurentiumusteata5567 who whole idea of getting this controller with a clip is to avoid bothering with soldering kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIqTZ6tnm5dleJI your shoud google a bit more, before erasing uefi bios save save it's uniq settings with controller (mac addr)

[@grahambird1570]

You are a Gladiator >>> Thanks !!!!

[@obelixer9751]

Flashed Asus N73sv laptop with latest bios and bricked it (thanks Asus) I learned that with this tool you need to first erase the chip or you get read errors. extra info on Asus N73SV is to NOT use their bios but search for the N73SM Only that version worked! even older versions of the original N73SV did not work. Happy with this cheap tool. It does read all *.* files btw.

[@NSC-Modz]

It's a nice thing :)

[@obelixer9751]

Update... this SM version made the laptop boot and was working but the videocard did nothing. found the komplete 4mb SV bios elsewhere and flashed this true N73SV and now everything works again. Another tip is to perhaps buy a better clamp since its not perfect and you have to re-place it a couple times to have a good connection. cost me like 6 euro + some extra chips to experiment on for 1 or 2 euro :)

+UltraNSC ok, I think its a flash chip the one I'm working on, not an eeprom as I tought before so the autodetection button should work but it is not. There is a code wrote on top of the chip but the programmer hasn't that code for any manufacturer. Should I get specific drivers for my chip? Its the first time Im trying to proggram a chip so I have no idea of what Im doing. For if it's usefull here you have my chip code: B45AD B58196

Greetings UltraNSC! First of all thank you for your time and effort in making this video, really appreciated. May i ask you sir, does this USB programmer has the pins where i can solder or use bios chips of LGA 2011v3 x99 motherboards like for example MSI X99A Gaming 7 USB 3.1 ? Because i see in the video you where using a bigger bios chip. Thank you very much

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you very much... Yes, there is also a small PCB included, where you also can Solder those Chips, maybe ill do a Video about soon...

[@liveyourlifeplease]

good video thanks

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you much to.

[@sapers2]

On the opposite side of chip locking lever there is a drawing on PCB how the memory chip should be installed :) . If you'd rotate the socket by 180deg so the locking lever would be pointing at usb connector then the image in first software would be right too. Thanks for info about the jumper 👍 This is just my guessing: The software was designed probably for hardware that have the socket rotated (maybe predecessor of EZ2019 (ezp?) or 2010), but when "cloners" show up and copied the hardware they rotated the socket how it's now (because it's more user friendly, and they can't copy 1=1 board layout either because: maybe of legal implications or the board was just too big and cost too much ;) ) but they still used the original software ...
