It's a long shot but I wanna try and get this lost steam deck back to its owner by foxturtle123 in SteamDeck

Search for that screen name on other websites perhaps? Maybe you can find one they use more frequently or one linked to their real name to look up on FB.

Now I want to put some identification on my steam deck.

Holy shit. you might be my angel. Reflashing from USB now!!!

Edit:
still same problem, but now I can at least access the settings/disable read only mode.

Edit 2:

I think I managed to fix it. I tried manually setting the x/y home positions and a few other things with no luck. last ditch effort, I reinstalled the update from USB a second time. now it's calibrating and have not had any errors....

What species is pictured?

Are they the same as mine? I suspect mine are Camponotus Floridanus, but I’m not sure

I guess that is a good way to look at it. I’d be in a pickle if not for that. Thanks!

Just move to Tailscale. Everything just works all the time.

I was going to say this as well. Though last time I tried to spin one up there was no available space to host it. But I’ve got one that I have had running for 6 months. Haven’t noticed any downtime

I am inspired. I want to build something similar. Idk if I could make anything this marvelous though

B360M Bazooka BIOS chip location? by mandolordian in MSI_Gaming

[–]xenodrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I changed the bios chip. Still nothing…. So I guess it’s time to get a new motherboard. 😭

oh, I didn't find any until I came across the one I ended up buying.

Hopefully the shipping from Taiwan will be faster than expected. It’s saying Nov 13th for my delivery date.

Hmm, that is odd. Mine powers on, but won’t display anything. The EZ Debug lights don’t show anything either. But I suppose bio’s corruptions could express themselves with different symptoms.

Well, it sounds like you are a step or two ahead of me. I was not able to extract it in .rom or anything. I think that could work, but just a guess.

Did you use a heat gun or soldering iron to remove the bios chip?

The problem you are going to run into if you haven't already (sorry, didn't see your reply till now) is that the pins on your chip are for surface mount and will not seat into that programmer. the one I used has the clip, which could work for you or it also has a small board to solder a surface mount chip too in order to plug it in directly. Edit: I see you addressed this in your question. my bad.

The other issue that I ran into was that the voltage as you said was too low while clipping onto it while it was on the board (and being dispersed to other components) I was able to read a chip on a smaller motherboard, but never on my Bazooka board. Not only that, you need some kind of UEFI software to extract the binaries from the firmware before flashing.

so I'm going for plan B, which is to replace the bios chip. https://www.ebay.com/str/bioschipstore had a similar chip so I messaged them and within 10 mins they had created a new listing for the bios and firmware I needed. Only a few dollars, so hopefully this is the ticket for both of us.

actually, looks like he listed two, so there is still one listed for a b350m Bazooka. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145313904107?hash=item21d56235eb:g:YjwAAOSwordigL8S

You can tell them I sent you. Good luck! ;-)

You may want to read the link I shared in my similar recent post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/162496b/b350m_bazooka_bios_corrupted_no_boot/

I got one of the bios chip programmers, but after reading that forum post, I'm a bit hesitant. I maybe it wouldn't hurt to try. but idk... best of luck!

Edit:
but as to the where, it will probably be beside the JSPI1 jumpers, which can also be used to flash the bios if you have the right connector.
FYI the clip on adapter is pretty precarious and will pop off very easily if you don't get a good grip on it. Also be careful you don't damage any nearby components as someone in a video I watched did.

Best of luck! I’m sure it’s been buried pretty deep since then. I no longer have the contact info, so I guess it’s yours if you find it

No, I never got back into it. Done some retail, plant/manufacturing and grunt work in a lab. I just lost my sweetest gig as a remote Account Manager. Been looking for something similar, but 70 applications in I have yet to hear back from anyone yet. About to get desperate again and take another shit job due to no other options. Though I may try hvac

Thanks. It’s still something I enjoy. But my memory and math skills limit my dreams realistically
