Hi!! i have to flash bios file to a new winbond chip (SPI FLASH). i have the usb programmer and CH341A program but the extension bios file of my DFI CL630 is only in 27A extension and the program works on .BIN .HEX or .ROM. In the zip there are also afudos.exe and readme file. how can i convert if it is possible?
thanks
Please link or attach BIOS so I can check, it's probably already .bin file but best to check to be sure in case it's encapsulated.
here is the zip file, see into this. thanks !!!
That is .bin file, however if you are using this with programmer that is not complete BIOS file so you cannot write this to the board with programmer.
Please dump your current/old BIOS with programmer, make sure it verifies, and then open that file in Hex editor and make sure it's not all FF's or 00's, and or also open with UEFITool and make sure it opens fully (ignore errors at bottom) then save the file and upload it here.
If the board is working right now, you can update this BIOS normally using standard procedure from DOS using the included files and the following command >>
afudos CL630R46.27A /p /b /n
If the board is not running, you'll definitely need to dump your old original BIOS before you program new one, so I can make you a complete image to use with the programmer. That, or we'll have to find someone else's dump for this board and then I can make you an image to use. What is the full board model name in case we end up having to do that, is this full model name (DFI CL630)?
I found CL630-CRM DFI-ITOX and CL630-CRM when looking in Google, but first one leads to AC0 or ACB BIOS files

And the other one CL630-CRM, no BIOS downloads

ok i'm very happy for your reply, you're the only! ok i've dumped my chip's bios (i think it's corrupted or broken because the pc start only on lights and fans but bios don't start and don't boot's anything)so dump could be not excat. so the dumped bios is only FF, i attach the screenshot. the bios is the zip file i gave u, i flashed into my pc 1 year ago with usb, when pc were work almost
. so we have to try to convert this 27A bios and put into chip, if don't i don't know how to do with my mobo and cpu.
thanks and best regards!!
You're welcome!
Dumped BIOS only FF may not be proper dump, try again with another software version, I doubt the chip is blank (All FF) even if corrupted. That is common issue with programmer when bad connection, connected improperly, using incorrect version, or incorrect chip ID used etc. Here is several versions of the software for CH341A programmer -

Here is guide on how to connect properly if you are not 100% sure

Or is this removable BIOS? If yes, make sure you are putting chip into correct slot in the programmer and that pin one lines up with correct place in the programmer. Of course, if you have ever pressed "write" or "erase" with the chip connected, then it could be blank, if you have not, then it should have data on it
As I mentioned, you cannot write that .27 BIOS to the board, it's not complete BIOS. What is CPU model on this system?
Hopefully you have not erased or written to the chip, so we can get good dump from it. I cannot find one online, so that is your only hope I think, if it's corrupted I can fix, but if it's empty we cannot. I bet try other software version and you will get good dump. What is the BIOS Chip ID?
