    If its not laptop, but PC, some motherboards can be dumped using flashrom under linux.
    That type of bios / motherboard do you have?

        Try to use attached tool, but AFAIK, it cannot save EC, only main BIOS.

          note that it doesn`t work very well for all kind of laptops... dumping with programer is the best way...

                  This is what i thought, cause i don't see how can you dump using an app for a hardware reader/writer !

                    This is the hardware I use, although the clip I bought had been modified and I put a weaker spring in it. I only use it for chips off the board. The software I downloaded from this forum, I can provide a copy if you want.

                      Thanks Buddy,
                      but i already have a hardware reader/writer and even the same clip.
                      What i am trying to achieve, is to dump/read the bios on a working laptop, without the need of disassemble it.

                        I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
                        by Habble7
                        The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

                        Suspected Cause:
                        I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

                        Troubleshooting Attempts:

                        by haitham sharabati
                        Hello engineers 😀,

                        I’m kindly requesting a clean and unlocked BIOS dump for the following HP laptop, as it’s bricked after flashing SP152727. The system now keeps rebooting, and the original issue was an Administrator / Power-On Password that I can no longer access.😏

                        🔧 Device Info:
                        - Model: HP 15-da2007ne
                        - Product Number: 8XF55EA#ABV
                        - Serial Number: CND0338P0D
                        - CPU: Intel Celeron N4000
                        - EC/BIOS Chip: [Add chip number from the motherboard or BIOS chip]

                        💀 Problem:😅
                        - Device shows “Administrator Password”...

                        NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
                        by Citymin
                        Hi all,

                        My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                        The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                        When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                        (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                        NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
                        PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

                        by DynaxSC
                        Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).

                        I need to reconstruct the bios on my board, based on another bios image form a real board - meaning a bios image containing MAC address, UUID and Serial number. A stock BIOS is not suffiecient, as it is impossible to discover where the MAC, UUID and SerialNumber are stored. Tried with a similar board, but there are too much differences, and the stock BIOS is missing a lot of...

                        This laptop is the same laptop I was working on in this thread and I wasn't sure if I should post a new topic or post in that thread because I already solved the issue that thread was discussing and this is a completely different issue although it is dealing with the same laptop. I decided to make a new thread since it's a new issue, but please move if I made a mistake.
