Hi,
This is my problem all files of this bios i cant load. "File open error" why?
I also downloaded it from vinafix. Same error. In both programmers.
I do not understand something? Of course, all other things work properly.
Please help me.

I don't have RT809 programmer, I can't help too much.
A BIOS programmer should open any file, no matters its extension.
However, extract the rar/zip first; you need the bin/rom file.

BTW, don't waste more time with vinafix BIOSes; more than 90% garbage there...

Yes, I know that.
There's some other problem here that I do not understand yet.
Even though I try to read Bios from any model 820-3536-A of this one he does not let me keep it and gives a mistake.
I have never met such a thing, and I have been working since 2005.
I can not upload the file and I can also not save the file I read.
I tried with 3 different programmers.
It only happens with 820-3536-A.
Another question may be a BIOS of 820-3476-A can fit or not?

May be software problem, try the programmer with other computer.

820-3437 BIOS works good on this board.

Should be good to use original serial number.
Remember, you MUST fix Fsys checksum, if change it.
If you have BIOS backup of your board, then just "transplant" its Fsys area...

Sorry, didn't realize there is a link.
I'm still with first coffee of the day; didn't fully open eyes yet.

Replace corresponding part of actual BIOS; starting with Fsys, until $SVS.
No need to fix Fsys checksum then.

Open in HxD and replace the mentioned part in new BIOS.
BTW, do copy/paste in the hex area, not in decoded text.
I uploaded only the Fsys area extracted from your backup...

Looks like you've delimited correctly Fsys area into BIOS.
Once replaced, save the file and flash U6100.

If doesn't work, original Fsys area may be damaged.
Then change serial number and fix Fsys checksum by software; if you don't have Medusa programmer.
Video available on the forum...
