Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
Nope, none of the codes worked... I tried that one being case sensitive and then again just letting it be all lowercase. I got nothing.
hi i should be able to help you i have to software for this very kind of issue. when you type the password wrong three times it should go into lockout and give you error number i need that number to generate you a master password, this is how most modern bios run, some just have a master password for override. i need to know who made your bios if you can get that info for me as well.
Eg. Phoenix,American Megatrend etc...
Again, thank you everyone for all of your help! It really is much appreciated!Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
I was looking at some EEPROM programmers, even though I know it's not worth the investment of even $30, and the EEPROM technology alone is outdated, this has become personal with this laptop. I'm debating to pick up a programmer, and a new chip and just program a new chip with a fresh BIOS install. Again, I know it's not worth it, the laptop in perfect working condition is only worth about $50 - $60, on a good day I might be able to get $75 for it.Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
I was in the air on either making one out of my Arduino or just buying one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221091725115?
I have some PIC chips that need programming as well, I have no clue how to program chips but there is only one way to learn and tht's doing it. Which for as cheap as $60 it's not to much of an investment if it just sits around my office collecting dust.Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
This is taken from a website offering unlocking.
"To remove Dell Bios password manually: If you are Computer technicians with
superior knowledge, open the laptop, and find the Chip 24C02 on the motherboard,
and Short circuit the legs 3 and 6 during booting, See picture attached, This
same chip is located in different position in different dell laptop motherboards, Using
a bent paperclip at an angle short circuit pins 3 and 6. when the 24c02 bios chip
is not found you may also look for chip 24c04 and 24c05 Short circuit during
booting ."
It then says
"When Short circuiting legs 3 and 6 fails, you may want to try short circuit legs 4
and 5, additionally try jumping legs 3 an 7, but do know this, if you use this
information you are doing it at your own risk, it is dangerous, and you may burn
the motherboard, and we are not reponsable for anything,
we recommend buying our master password to unlock your dell laptop.
With the laptop turned off, position the bent paper clip on the Bios chip proper
legs, and than turn on the laptop, this will cause a short circuit in the Bios chip
and reset the password."
edit; Ignore all that above, just read your first post again.
Edit again; Just noticed you tried different pins (2&7 4&5 3&6)
Try also 3&7Do NOT touch heatsinks when testing for voltages as they may be LIVE!Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
Oh and i just did the keygen again, but this time inputted your service tag in all lower case and it has given me this password.
67zhyvao
So please try it before you fry your mobo.
Also, what does your sevice tag end in?
fwthj11-595B
fwthj11-2A7B
or
fwthj11-D35BDo NOT touch heatsinks when testing for voltages as they may be LIVE!Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
I will give it a shot! Strangely enough there is no extension off of the service tag. Hopefully one of these will work I will try 3 (non-inverting input A) & 7 (Output B) on the 24C02W6 to see if this will do anything. Again, I'm going to have to do this later tonight when I get home from work, so I will post the results a little later. By the way if the board fries, it is what it is! It's useless the way it is now, so it would save me the problem of continuing wasting my time on this old piece of garbage!Comment

I had a latitude d630 with password on it, but it just stopped me getting into the bios, laptop would still boot to windows.
Got my master the same way i am trying for you?
I also read on my travels for you about a guy that had a laptop with password on it, he tried the keygens to no avail, he was then told that his model has been known to have a bug in the bios witch stops the master password being recognised?Do NOT touch heatsinks when testing for voltages as they may be LIVE!Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
couple of things I think is worth a mention here
.
I have read inside the forum that the keygen passwords must be entered on a Qwerty keyboard , and followed with control and enter (not 100% sure)
.
Also read somewhere today that that Phoenix done the bios up untill A04 and then Dell took it over from A05 onwards
.
There is a recomended update for your Latitude C840, from A08 to A13 found in this link

Also may help is this link

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
Try what this guy did, he says something about holding the wires together and then tapping the wires together.
All clear in the vid.
Puts it into manufacturing mode.

Thanks man! Good find, on the link! I can't thank you enough! I'm still in total disbelief. It took me a couple of times, but it does put the BIOS chip into manufactures mode... Now I just have to take a look to make sure all the ports and everything is working! Thanks again bro!Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
the crazy part about that working is that was the first 2 pins that I jumped, I just didn't hold them and then start tapping them together as described in the video. You know, i'm going to have to take another look at the insides because, I don't seem to be getting any juice to the USB ports. So, this computer and I will be going for round #2! Yeeeeaaaaa! Lol!Comment

Re: Shorting a EEPROM chip
hello good people!
would anyone give me a solution to this sony vaio model PCG-81313M bios password that has practically locked me out of it i tried everything from shorting the 24c02A chip to trying to find a password generator for the 5x4 decimal digits which i found none for sony.
Please help!!Comment

by acedogblastThis is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.
There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as... -
Long story short:
- dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
- gave the computer to his son a couple years later
- son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
- too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
(seems like the story was not that short)
He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8... -

by inck243Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

by thxd43Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.
I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.
The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a... - Loading...
