Review on 📦 Gikfun USB Programmer CH341A Series: Optimized for Burner Chip 24 EEPROM BIOS Writer 25 SPI Flash (Model: AE1185) by Kyle Deel

I bought this after a BIOS update failed and apparently destroyed my motherboard (ASUS AM1 Mini-ITX for HTPC). The process was a little confusing and took longer than necessary, but this device finally got my motherboard working again. The BIOS chip I flashed was a socket. After some research and lots of trial and error, he finally came back to life. I had to search the internet for the specific software version for this device (which was compatible with my particular BIOS chip), then I had to slightly modify the BIOS update file from the ASUS website with another program, then I had to figure something out Particularities. with the gear itself. Even for an IT pro like me, this was annoying and a bit difficult to learn, but a fun challenge to master. Had to deduct a star for lack of documentation, quirkiness, and the amount of research required to use this device. To the right. I understand that making such a device foolproof is difficult, but reliable documentation, reliable software download sources, and training videos from the manufacturer are welcome. If you've tried this and it doesn't work, don't give up. It's a pain to use and understand.
