With the new BIOS release I wanted to point out how relatively easy is to
repair the chip on our Probook motherboards in case, you are the unlucky one
and spilled the drink on it.
IC used:
4330S - MX25L3206E (confirmed)
4530S - MX25L3206E (confirmed)
4570S - MX25L3206E (not-confirmed)
4430S - MX25L3205D (not-confirmed)
4540S - Winbond W25Q64FVSIG (confirmed)
MX25L3206E
size= 4MiB (4mebiBytes)
package= 8-pin SOP 200(208)mil
Programmer:
Any programmer that supports SPI Flash MX25L3205D/MX25L3206E with 200(208)mil
SOIC8 adapter.
Memory Map:
000000h-17FFFFh Random Data
180000h-3FFFFFh 68SRR.BIN
Programming:
Please take a picture of personal data displayed by pressing F1 key during bootup. Using raw update image(68SRR.bin) will result with loss of personalized laptop data and may require some tools from another site. It's better to take snapshots of different versions with original chip while moving from older revisions F.0A->F.20->F.29
Pre-programmed chips: ebay.
