[TUTORIAL] LattePanda Bios Reflash Save LP from red light
Zzz5123 2016-08-08 20:52:55 161000 Views88 Replies Hello，
For those who have the same trouble
In this tutorial I will show you how to flash a bios chip. The bios can become corrupted for numerous reasons and prevent the board from booting. Usually this is what causes the “red light on no boot issue”. This will save your board!
What you need is a Bios programmer/writer with software
And furthermore, this tool can also use to back up/copy the Bios original code. That means you can change the bios setting or hacking without worrying, ha-ha.
Let’s begin.
First, unplug all the cables on the board！
Step 2
Remove the shield cover.
The chip is on the back side, and LattePanda has a cover on? It.

By the way, you can see the purple thermal pad used in LP. No judge，LattePanda Team, but add some thermal paste or change to a higher thermal conductivity would be better.

2020-11-27 11:53:42 When I attempt to reflash with ch341a programmer via AsProgrammer I can read, load, and initiate write of updated bin file. Then the program stalls with no error - reads “Old SREG: 11111111(0xFF) 11111111(0xFF)”. K1ngHandy

Check to make sure you have good connections. If you have a clip with your programmer ^^^Look at my previous post^^^, make sure that all of your connections are good. It should have a red light if the IC is still connected to the board. Make sure you are using the right bios and press erase, then program with the file. If you read afterwards, it shouldn't be all F. If you boot up and it looks like it's working but you get no HDMI picture, read here http://www.lattepanda.com/topic-f10t1175.html

I have tried reading the contents of the bios multiple times, and I get different results, so my guess something is getting corrupted somewhere (or maybe a bad chip?).Try switching the clips (If you use it) around. I found that when I clip on the connector to the programmer a red led lights up. Mess around with your programmer till it works. Also, check if you have the winbond w25q64 chip instead. Hope that helps!
On AsProgrammer, I get the following error:Code: Select all

paolo977 2020-01-17 12:58:40 I ended up buying some chips of eBay, replaced the faulty BIOS chip, and everything works again now. janlugt

janlugt 2019-10-08 16:28:34 Hi guadalupeescoto,
could you please take a pic of this message? we don't have this problem always.
did you connect power when reflashing? Please disconnect it if you do. LattePanda

LattePanda 2019-10-01 00:59:34 Hello,
I am following your tutorial and it is very good explained.
When i want to erase the chip a get this message
Possible protection is enabled. Press "Unprotect" and check datasheet
Erasing memory...
Do you know what is the cause.
Thank you. guadalupeescoto

guadalupeescoto 2019-02-11 18:51:29 Thanks a lot for your help.I recovered my lattepanda with this solution. But I have a new problem. Now lattepanda boot correctly but in the first boot do not get new password and going to this screen and I can’t login with last username and password that I remember.

Fortunately for me, despite not receiving any help from the LattePanda team, I have fixed it by doing a HARD RESET but with a method somewhat different from the one that appears in the following link, because in a first attempt it did not work as they describe.
http://www.lattepanda.com/forum/viewtop ... f=10&t=853
Second try:
- LattePanda was connected via HDMI to a TV.
- HDMI plugged but TV screen shows a HDMI disconnected message.
- Simultaneously pressing POWER and RESET.
- Then I plugged in the power supply and waited at least 20 seconds before releasing POWER and RESET.
- WITHOUT disconnecting the power, I waited few seconds watching the TV went to black screen warning the HDMI cable had a signal.
- The LattePanda logo appeared once and then the screen went to black.
- The LattePanda logo appeared a second time and then the screen went black.
- Then the Windows 10 screen appeared.
As I had flashed the BIOS with the new file "Auto Power On" I thought I had lost the activation key, but it is not true, I checked Windows 10 was still activated by putting the following command SLMGR -XPR in the CMD window.
Of course, I made a BIOS backup in the system now and comparing the new APO BIOS working file with the APO BIOS factory file using HxD or Notepad++ HEX editor plug-in and there are big differences now.
To prevent a new brick, what is the most recently BIOS file to use with my LP version S70CR110-C34A / Z8300 including update with Auto Power On?

The other one has either issues where the needed chip names aren't listed or the flash process doesn't work properly. raidensnake

Select the manufacturer of the chip and select the right model (GIGADEVICE GD25Q64 , remember?)

Read the chip information ,and you can see some words if it still work (it’s messy code here, just leave it alone.Some mistake about the software)

Open and select the file downloaded from the official site of your bios.

Any help is greatly appreciated being as my Lattepanda is useless at the moment.You're not the only one here.. My one is the S70CR200-CC55G Z8350 and there are no files for it either! It suddenly crashed to a solid red light!

cobrajon2003 2018-10-10 19:30:40 @addeswe and Kongkrich, we will update this part of change soon on the post. In short, just change the menu setting to w25q64(winbond)! LattePanda
LattePanda 2018-09-15 20:20:59 So I looked at my chip. And the marking say: 25L064CV1G. And I can't really find any pinout regarding it.
Is it reasonable to assume that the pinout for it is the same as the GD25Q64? (thanks in advance staff). addeswe

I had the 1.8v bios version. It also works with an old GQ-4X rev.1.3 programmer ( I had to buy a cheap 1.8v adapter). Change the device offset to 000000H, choose a GD device ID (there is only one on the device list that gives you an error but that doesn't matter) and make sure the IC clip/clamp on cable is seated properly on the bios chip (this is the hard part, I had to pry the connections a little in order to seat properly on the chip). My latte is alive again!
