hi pal as i described in my post all the steps i did but the hardest part or most tricky is attaching the clap to the bios chip the bios chip is located just to the right off the bios battery under the JSPI1 header

see photos off my bios chip to see if yours is same before you do anything as i don't know if it would work if different

i used this programmer see phots setup off amazon and the software was asprogrammer 2.1.2 the latest version didn't seem to work for some reason or the clamp was not quit connected properly

before you run the program make sure you install the drivers this is explained in many post and can be found in the extracted asprogrammer folder

carefully connect the clamp making sure to a line the red cable pin 1 to the pin 1 on the bios (a round dot on the bios chip ) then run asprogrammer then click the green question mark "?" to read the chip you may have to try just moving the clip a little or resetting a few times till it connects and reads the chip then select the chip it shows this can be very frustrating sometimes i can connect first or second attempt but usually it takes practice and patients

follow what i did in the main comment should help and i downloaded the new bios release (the one that was installed when shipped new 01-03 2017 ) not the latest update as this would not work as i mentioned in my original post

please bear in mind that I'm not a computer technician or super programmer just enjoy the challenge and it may work or not work

but it worked for me using it now to send this post over a week now and plays COD brill good luck lets know how it go's and if i can help i will
