Trying to flash a BIOS chip while it is still soldered to a motherboard (in-circuit) using a clip is inherently problematic. When the CH341A sends 3.3V to power the flash memory, that voltage travels through the motherboard traces and attempts to power up the southbridge, capacitors, and surrounding chipset. The tiny CH341A regulator is forced to power half the motherboard, causing it to sag in voltage and overheat aggressively. How to reprogram a BIOS flash IC properly with CH341A

The NeoProgrammer software (including versions like the popular 2.1.0.19 or 2.2.0.10) is heavily relied upon by technicians to unbrick motherboards, routers, and GPUs. However, when combined with a low-cost, black-PCB CH341A hardware unit, it can quickly turn into a hardware hazard. neoprogrammer 21019 ch341a hot

Windows does not natively recognize the CH341A in programming mode. Trying to flash a BIOS chip while it
