Package included 1 x Programmer 1 x 1.8V adapter 1 x SOP8 SOIC8 to DIP8 EZ Programmer Adapter Socket Converter Module 150mil 1 x SOIC8 SOP8 Flash Chip IC Test Clip socket adapter BIOS/24/25 Programmer Review: Plug all adapters together correctly or you WILL fry your chips - Bricked both my bios and backup bios by being an idiot. This tool was the only way to save my $1100 graphics card. I found the bios chips, clipped it on, and it failed to read the first time, but I disconnected it and reseated it and the second time it worked flawlessly. The second chip read the first time no issue. Both chips were programmed and the verifications were successful. The thermal putty was ruined so if you do this buy some extra putty and thermal paste just so you're not waiting for that to come in the mail. But the flashing was pretty effortless. I never thought I'd ever have to do such a thing nor be so straightforward. This board is by default 5 volts. Google the letters on your bios chip to see if yours needs the 1.8 volt adapter cause if it does, you'll fry the chip if you use the programmer without it. Watch some YT videos on how to use the adapter or you might damage it that way too. Everything has to be set up correctly but once that's done, the process is pretty easy. For my 7900 XTX, these are the steps I followed to flash my BIOS's: To use the 1.8 volt adapter, install the adapter into the main board with the USB bu plugging it into the 8 slots closest to the USB end (25xx slots) oriented so that the arrow on the adapter is facing the lever on the main board. Then, plug the clip adapter with pin 1, 4, 8, and 5 lined up. Then plug the clip into the clip adapter with the pink wire towards the 1 on the clip adapter. Then you will fasten it to the chip with the pink wire on the clip at the corner with the dot on the chip. That's the power wire. You have to make sure that's properly aligned or it'll try the chip. Once that's done, if you don't have any linux installed, grab one and put it on a flash drive and boot into it cause it's a heck of a lot easier on Linux than Windows. 1) open terminal on any Linux os. 2) "sudo apt update" 3) "sudo apt install flashrom" Plug the USB in with the clamp on the chip. 4) "sudo flashrom -p ch341a_sp1" If it says no flash found, then unplug USB and reclamp the chip, then plug back in and repeat step 4. 5) "sudo flashrom -p ch341a_spi -r bios ackup1" This will backup the bios on the chip. You want to do this step three times each time calling it "biosbackup2" and "biosbackup3". You need 3 copies to test that it's reading properly (stable connection) 6) "sha256sum biosbackup1.bin biosbackup2.bin" If the characters match, then: 7) "sha256sum biosbackup1.bin biosbackup3.bin" If those numbers also match, then it's a stable connection and the data read with no problem. The bios you need to flash should be located in the same folder the bios backup files are being created. Usually in the explorer it's in the home directory. Copy it there and name it "newrom.bin". Now you'll flash the bios to the chip. 8) "sudo flashrom -p ch341a_spi -w newrom.bin" You'll see it process through a bunch of steps and if at the end you get a text that says "VERIFIED" then the flash was successful. You can always back this up again as biosbackup4.bin if you wanna check that the hashes match the newrom.bin you copied, just as an extra assurance it is a perfect copy. Once done, you can do the same if you have another bios chip thats bricked (I screwed both mine up ha!). When done, replace thermal paste, putty, and pads, close her up, and boot the board up. Review: Quality item that worked for saving my Z490 Motherboard - I was able to use this to fix my bricked MSI Tomahawk Z490 motherboard. Like many others, it failed after a simple BIOS update. From then on it would refuse to boot, no POST, no nothing but some fans at idle. The only thing that would come on was a single "CPU" LED. Hard resetting the BIOS/removing the battery, etc. did not do anything. And naturally, this board does not have any kind of "bios back" / bios recovery system. I figured it was bricked, but reading online gave me some hope about the possibility of reprogramming the BIOS chip externally. So, after a ton of research, I ended up buying this programmer linked below clipped it onto my BIOS chip* Was concerned about the whole 5V output instead of 3.3V, but read some people who said it worked fine. I rolled the dice and it worked fine for me also. I did not have to modify my programmer's output voltage. Now clipped in, I was able to detect the chip, and read and make a full backup of it. I then wrote the most recent BIOS to it and rebooted. Unfortunately now the board didn't turn on at all. Not even the LED diagnostic light. Rats. I keep at it though, and eventually I decided to flash the BIOS that was the original version it had before I did the upgrade that broke everything. I reboot, and BAM, it POSTs! From there I manually update the BIOS through the BIOS itself and a flash drive with each firmware update file. Every update takes, and I end up with a fully up to date motherboard with almost everything working.** *The SOIC 8 pin clip is very finicky, cheap, and I don't think would be good for more than a few attempts. The more I played with it / the longer it was on the more messed up the little tiny gold tabs became. **My Intel NIC's MAC address was hosed after this. I was able to figure out what it should be by looking it up on MSI's website, as they weirdly have a tool for that. Then booted off a linux USB and used some commands to write the original MAC to the NIC. Rebooted and verified all looks well in windows. ## Features - (User manual available if do as follow: click "AITRIP"(you can find "Sold by AITRIP" under Buy Now button), in the new page, click "Ask a question".)we will send you the manual asap） - Test Clip Pin format: SOIC8 SOP8 matrix ,Programmer TL866 EZP2010 RT809H CH341A;Please confirm the chip voltage to avoid burning the chip.(This product only supports 3.3v 5V switching) - SOIC8 SOP8 Clip DIP8 for in-circuit programming For EEPROM /25CXX/24CXX on ZIP USB;Serial port: Supports the USB to UART 12CSP port - Test Clip Beryllium copper plating needle, without welding, can be directly inserted - USB Programmer CH341A Series Burner Chip 24 EEPROM BIOS Writer 25 SPI Flash AE1185 - CH341A Programmer: The main purpose is to backup, erase, programming, calibration and other operations of various software;Note:Please confirm the chip voltage to avoid burning the chip.(This product only supports 3.3v 5V switching) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VNVVXW6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,307 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #13 in Semiconductor Products | | Brand | AITRIP | | Color | USB Programmer Set | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Television | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 550 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | USB | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Manufacturer | AiTrip | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 11 | | UPC | 701715454453 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AITRIP - **Color:** USB Programmer Set - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Television - **Data Link Protocol:** USB - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Manufacturer:** AiTrip - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Windows 11 - **UPC:** 701715454453 ## Images ![AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RlHQalseL.jpg) ![AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619Invls5rL.jpg) ![AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lUlcYHD4L.jpg) ![AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NHHVFzVdL.jpg) ![AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61il-ZYGf7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would plugging this into a USB 3.0 cause any issues with this device since it seems to be built for 1.0?** A: no. USB 3 is backward compatible. Should not be a problem **Q: Will it work with Z170 K6 motherboard?** A: Locate the BIOS chip on your motherboard. The most common brand is WINBOND. This programmer work with most of the 8 pin WINBOND chips. The chip number my be something similar to W25Q128 or 25Q128, but most of these chips are supported. There is a version of this programmer, I think its version 2 that fixes a problem that the original had. The version 1 put +5v on the datalines. Allot of these chips use 3.6v on the data lines so you had to do a volt mod on the programmer to fix. I would recommend you purchase the version 2.0. **Q: Will this work for automotive at 5v?** A: It will, but they claim it needs jumpers to change other chip voltage locations to 3.3v. I haven’t had an issue, but most use the junoers **Q: is there a manual? how to set the jumpers, what do they do? how to set to 3.3v, or 5v, 1.8v?** A: I only worked 3.3v bios chips, I suggest to use a multimeter to check the voltage at the pins then add the jumper. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug all adapters together correctly or you WILL fry your chips *by C***E on March 30, 2026* Bricked both my bios and backup bios by being an idiot.

Ended up having to shave one side down to even get it on, ended up giving up and buying a different clip ## Frequently Bought Together - AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects - HiLetgo USB Logic Analyzer Device With EMI Ferrite Ring USB Cable 24MHz 8CH 24MHz 8 Channel UART IIC SPI Debug --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/156514218-aitrip-eeprom-bios-usb-programmer-ch341a-soic8-clip-1-8v](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/156514218-aitrip-eeprom-bios-usb-programmer-ch341a-soic8-clip-1-8v) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
