BIOS for Dell optiplex 7080 micro

[IDG]

Ok. So I did a diff on previous submitted and unlocked files and found the edits that were made. Edited my own file, re-flashed and it works :-) Thanks for the info.

Hi All.
So i got a free Little Dell Micro That I want to put linux on to further learn on, however, its Bios Locked with the 8FC8, and I need to change some settings on it.
Ive been reading this forum, and it looks like this bios can be patched, but in order to do so, i would need a dump of my existing bios, which i dont have. I dont have the equipment to do so either at this time. I wasnt sure if someone had a Bios I could use for this? Im a little confused on how this
actually works. But im learning!

Dell micro Optiplex 7080
Service Tag: 5H9N8B3
8FC8 Bios lock.

Need either original bios or patched? Thank you!

Just an update.
Im a moron, I was thinking the Bios could be flashed with software if someone uploaded. but looks like it would need to have a programmer to flash it, which i dont currently have.

Nevermind then! Thanks anyways

Hey everyone,

I see a lot of people here sharing their BIOS backups to get unlocked, and I'd like to do the same with my Dell Optiplex 7080 Micro. Can anyone explain how to back up the BIOS properly?

Thanks a lot for the help

Finally, I did some research, and it seems I need a programmer to back up my BIOS. The BIOS chip is MX25L25673GHI with 16 pins. I'm not sure which exact programmer and clip I should buy. Can anyone recommend a reliable setup that works well for this chip? And, is it possible to back up the bios just by using Windows OS on the computer directly, because i see various app such as Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit that looks fine. Thanks for your help

This chip is shure supported by the RT-809 Programmers. I programmed it with this many times.
It seems to be not 100% supported bei the cheap 341-Programmers even with the 3.3V setup. with those programmers i had only problems with this chip.
And please check the pinout ! some "standard" 16 to 8 pin adapters delivered with the programmers just not work.

i found a post on winraid/levelone which was very helpful.

here the mapping 16 to 8 that finally worked for me and those macronix chips.
