    HP ProDesk 600 G4 SFF - Warning: Bios is not for Production use

    Recently I received a batch of HP desktops all of which are in testing mode bios.
    They all display the error "Your system is not fully configured. Please contact HP customer support.
    Warning: This BIOS is Not for Production Use".
    It has a main bios and an EC separate on the board.
    while trying to update the bios from the network it connects to the HP site downloads the bios with a version of 2.23 but restarts after downloading, same happens with a recovery pen drive. I tried programming it with a bios from another site didn't work.
    Can someone provide working bios for the PC

      Looks like it's a prototype/engineering board, retail BIOS might not work properly on there.

                  If flashing the bios doesn`t work this might help

                              Ok well, as piernov said it could be a prototype/engineering board.Changing the PCH could be the only option.

                                  Using Analyzer i have noticed an option FWUpdate Support │ Impossible
                                  is that why I am unable to update the bios using a USB drive. Is it possible to mod the bios to change this option.

                                      Need Help Restoring BIOS and MAC Address for HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF
                                      by ianasystems
                                      Hello,

                                      I'm currently dealing with a BIOS corruption issue on my HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF desktop PC.

                                      After the BIOS got corrupted, my PC was showing no display, and I had to take it to a repair shop where the technician removed the BIOS chip from the motherboard and installed a BIOS I provided from a file I downloaded from the official HP website.

                                      While the display issue was fixed and the system is powering up again, there's one major problem: the Ethernet MAC address is now showing as FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, indicating that it's been wiped or corrupted as well....

                                      HP ProDesk 400 G6 mini - BIOS Password attempt to remove it
                                      by beBoss
                                      Hi,

                                      as noobie to this please excuse my lack of experience.

                                      I am trying to remove a BIOS password from this machine:
                                      HP ProDesk 400 G6 Mini

                                      but so far I still have no success.
                                      I bought CH341 programmer and decided to give it a try.

                                      The programmer came with 8 pin cables and connectors or whatever everything else is called so I had to buy a new 16 pin cable because the chip which I think is the BIOS is with 16 pins..



                                      I connected everything and downloaded AsProgrammer and NeoProgrammer then installed drivers...

                                      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...

                                      [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                      by zenius
                                      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,...
