    EDID dump/write over i2c with raspberry pi

    Hey guys, is there any guide covering the subject? I got few iMac A1418 eDP LCD's some of them cracked glass and working and 2 whole, but no display (backlight ok) I guess it's worth trying to mess around the eeprom's.

      Is EDID stored in SPI memory and somehow interfaced to i2c or there is i2c memory module I cannot find? in EC?

      Hooking raspi pi to panel now, will update if find something.

        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 EncryptSine
        Hi, i have an hp probook 440 g8 with a bios password, i did my search and find a tool to erase the password (here : https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...probook+440+g8) But i don't know how to read or flash the bios. I also don't have an eeprom programmer but i have a raspberry pi 4b and some arduino. If really it's not possible what eeprom programmer is compatible ? thanks for your help! Normally there is a pictures of the EC rom chip i need to flash...

        DUMP DVR HIKVISION DS-7208HGHI-K1 (80389 Rev 1.3 Firmware)
        by Mephysis
        Hello guys i really need help, i recently updated my DS-7208HGHI-K1 and it somehow got bricked, I've got it up and working now by flashing a new dump file i found but the serial number is really wrong and the uploader of the dump file probably intentionally did it.

        I still have the bricked dump file is it possible to transfer the serial number of the "bricked dump" to the "working dump"?

        [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
        by hyperwood
        Hi everyone,

        I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

        The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

        I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

        āœ… What I need:
        • A working 2MB BIOS dump
        • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
        ...
