    BIOS request for HP Pavilion TouchSmart 23-f304ea PC

    Hi All,
    I am trying to debug the HP all in one PC and I have done pretty much what I could do. It is an intel based platform with i3 3240 + panther-point chipset + Nvidia graphics.

    The details are here, https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=103428

    As a last resort, I would like to restore the BIOS and see if that makes any difference. if anyone could find the BIOS, please help. Thanks for your help.

          Hi,
          Sorry, it took some time to get my set up ready. Please find the attached flash. I really don't think it is the flash, but just attaching the dump I extracted, in case it is useful for someone.

          As stated, if you have any clues on how to debug please let me know. Thanks again.

                  Hi, Thank you so much. I will have a go.

                  I have also noticed that there is another flash chip that is not as big as the original one. It might be flash for the super I/O chip. Let me see if I can extract that too.

                      Excellent news. I reflashed the bios given above and that fixed the issue. It boots and loads Windows and everything works fine. Thank you so much @SMDFlea. What a great community to be part of. This issue can be closed as Solved.

                              HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
                              by Bloodhoundje
                              Hi everyone,

                              I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

                              I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

                              After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

                              I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...

                              ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                              by jbonavita
                              Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                              With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                              With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                              Some issues
                              A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                              B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                              Things I tried

                              1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                              [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                              by zenius
                              Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                              Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                              Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                              by Wahaz
                              Hello,

                              I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                              So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                              I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

                              My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
                              1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
                              2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
                              3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this
