Hello all,
after lot of struggling battles, i come back here to share with you some new discoveries
First of all, dismantling this thing is not an easy operation ! all is miniaturizied and ribbon cables !
Finding the chip is not easy, almost all the components are protected by a shield. at first glance was discouraged and depressed, was scared to unsolder all of this ! Thanks God it's just hold by clips
The X1 Tablet do have two Chips found Winbond 25Q128JVPQ & Winbond 25Q16FW1Q, the real Bios is stored in the 128 one, the 128 is 3v and the 16 is 1.8v says their datasheets
The two chips are unfortunately SMD ones ! SMD components are new generation, do have lot of advantages but only one inconvenient and a big one, Lack of Maintenance, this where im stuck !!
The CH341a Programer comes with a clip Cable, because of this SMD config of the chip, the Grip is too thick & rough no contacts can be possible with the legs. The plastic jaws of the clip overflow the metallic pins. Have tried to prune with a cutter make the clip unasable for real, it slide
Using the Hot air gun is not a good thing for me, the motherbord is too fragile & too complicated, its components are microscopic
Using a Digital Microscope is a prerequisite in my opinion, i ordered one
i decided then to chose the solution of soldering some very thin wires to the legs of the chip, i think it's the best and safest solution
Lot of gurus advise me also to eliminate the CH341a Programer because of some TT voltages pbs, i don't know what that means, i decided then to order the TL866ii Programer more Pro
Some good guys say it's about 100$ investment !  Big Grin 
Sorry because of this x#!$ smd compnts Unfortunately all of this operation will cost buying another Tablet !! Angry 

Conclusion of this project :
SMD Chips for the X1
The clip is useless
soldering wires to legs's chip
TL866ii instead of CH341a because voltage pbs
Digital Microscope necessary
Microsurgery skills !

Please any suggests would be appreciate
Dave
