Because Windows does not recognize the Thunderbolt controller and the UID is 0x00000000 it could mean a couple of things:
- One of the surface mount devices near the Winbond chip got damaged or removed.
- The Winbond chip itself is damaged.
Some suggestions:
- Carefully try to connect the CH341A to W25Q80DV chip and just read the firmware. Raspberry Pi is the preferred tool because it provides more useful information during read and write. Anyway, carefully try to read the firmware. Follow the Supplemental Procedure.
- If you cannot read the chip, then some options are:
- Take motherboard to a local PC repair shop and ask them to try and read the chip.
- If the chip is damaged, PC repair shop could replace the chip and program it for you.
- If the cost of this is higher than the cost of a new motherboard, then you have these options:
- Option 1: Buy an add-in Thunderbolt card such as GC-Alpine Ridge or GC-Titan Ridge. Your motherboard's on-board controller will not work, but a PCIe card can be added.
- Option 2: Replace the motherboard.
okay i think that's it a picture the white is the kane transmitter that went with the clipper omg
no it also does not work on mac tuhnderbold works with the 33 firmewares and the 50 firmwares
It is possible that the damage caused during original flashing (see photo) is not properly fixed.
When original Thunderbolt firmware is flashed backed, then Thunderbolt 3 devices should connect without any trouble in MacOS.
Connect a simple Thunderbolt device or a USB 3.x flash disk to the Thunderbolt ports in
macOS. Do they work? After connecting the device, please run
IORegistryExplorer and post screenshot of the
RP05 section so we can see if the Thunderbolt or USB-C device is attaching.
