It will be interesting to see how that board turns out. Will there be a part II? Stay tuned.

Hello, how are you
I need help please
I need BIOS EC MSI GS76

Searching around on the internet about this chip led me to a forum where someone replaced a similar chip on an MSI GE76 Raider 11UH. As long as the chip was blank, the bios will program the new chip. Hopefully this is the same for this MSI laptop.

Looking forward to the next action-packed, thrilling instalment. Probably an illusion, but something very odd looking at 5:26, looks to be a runaway pad or crooked IC with a hole and resistor heading for the 9th dimension.

There is yet another issue. Most like the chip will be a fake or defective. And after installing you will think that there is some other issue with the board, but in fact it is the chip. Many of those SuperIO chips from China are defective or fake (empty shell).

After doing a thesis on the blown superio chip, I've come to the conclusion that electricity caused it to blow.

Match revision # on board before selecting Donor. BIOS is Flashable but carry a secondary emergency backup copy. If these two are not incrementally matched this system will not POST.

and this is why the whole concept of expensive gaming laptops is a terrible idea, and will probably get progressively worse

[Skaaaaal]

Why pass the risk to the customer for sourcing the chip? I would expect a repair shop to know reliable vendors.

[Dheazzo]

Why don’t we desolder the super I/O and test for the behavior of the suspicious cap

[Paul-IE-Repairs]

the super IO chip, likely did not have regular dental check ups or a good brushing routine and developed a cavity

[cppctek]

Worth the fix. Also that chip should be drop in ready.

[deathtrap]

It's goddamned risky for customer. He may end up paying an expensive part and also the repair attempt for nothing. But that's what life's about: making decisions.

According to some forum entries, this chip programs itself. So no need to program.

Lots of deals on MSI laptops now. I am passing on them thanks to the knowledge gained here.

[NBMSCH]

the chip price is very expensive but maybe because of its functionality.. I think that big motherboard coming from a very expensive MSI laptop. so, it's worth to buy that chip

[orangesquares]

there are two types of these chips, the KB9548GF and the KB9548GF2, the one on this MSI laptop ends in GF2.
it is unclear if the chips are the same or not, anyway both are super expensive, , over 50USD per chip.

[seanys]

Oh, no! A cliffhanger! Tune in next week to see what happens to our hero.

4:09 i think its an alien cab burst of the chest of that poor chip
