Thanks!

Re: how to recover windows key if i have to reprogram bios
First make dump of original file. After that, use a program called MEinject and load the original bios dump.
Or if you have more skills and can use a hexadecimal program like HxD. Find that line 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 in hex values and you will see the windows key. like after a few bites on the text-string.
If you donΒ΄s know contact me in private. I will help you -

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... -
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,... -
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.... -
bios clock is not in sync with windows or linux.
When i remove OS HDD and manually set bios clock, time settings remain. But when i boot windows it keeps reset, other bios settings are not reset.
Battery is 3V full of life, it is replacement. Before it had a dead battery and the bios posted date like 2033, etc, after every restart.
Now with a working battery i don't get clock sync with bios and windows.
Laptop: acer v3-772g, uefi linux or windows - same bios thing.
