Chapter 7 BIOS Re-flash & Power Off

7.1 Error BIOS Dump

BIOS (Basic Input Output System) are the software embedded on a chip located on the
computer’s main board. The BIOS executes POST to test and initialize the system
components and then loads (boots) the O/S. The BIOS also handles the low-level
input/output to the various peripheral devices connected to the computer. Without
correct BIOS data, the main board is unable to boot up. The BIOS data error repairing is

no component replacement required, just need to re-flash the data. For this reason
GIGABYTE invent Dual BIOS function to reduce the RMA return and improve the
quality. Furthermore, for reducing the BIOS data error, we collect the error BIOS data

for analysis.

Operation Steps of BIOS Dump:
Remove BIOS chip from M/B.
Remove the extra solder and clean the flux from BIOS pins.

Put BIOS chip on programmer.
Set the BIOS brand and type for programmer.
Read BIOS data to programmer buffer.

Save the data from programmer buffer.
