    Hello everyone!

    I have some question about a MSI GT70 (MS-17621)

    I have to change the KBC Chip (ENE KB3930QF/b1) (shorted and burned) BUT I think that i have to reprogram the KBC chip after? I have seen a lot of KBC programmer, but only for ENE9012 or 90XX... Not for ENE3930qf... someone can help me for find the good programmer? Also, this motherboard has 2 flash Chip (the BIOS and a second chip "EC" i think) does the EC chip is the programm for KBC?? if yes, nothing to do after change the KBC if the programm is in the second chip near? I'M LOOOOOOOST HELP MEEEEE PLEAAAASE :) (and sorry for bad english!)

    I can provide pictures if necessary!

    There are two flashes on the PCB, one is BIOS and the other one is EC.
    EC handles one part of KB such as LED light behavior as well as hot key functions. But keyboard itself has another built-in firmware.
    You should be good if you replace the KBC chip successfully without flashing anything else.
