HP Elitedesk 800 G4 SFF BIOS/EC firmware error (Code 5.2) - Fixable?
Hello guys,
I stupidly tried to read out my BIOS & EC flash (with a clamp). This didn't work, I only read FF's. But after this operation, the PC is not longer turning on, just beeps 5 times (and blinks red) then 2 times (blinks white). The manual says this is the error code for: "The embedded controller cannot find valid firmware.".
I think it locked itself because of my experiment. Is this fixable? I now removed both chips from the board and dumped them, I attach the files in this post hoping someone can help me fix my stupid error. Thanks so much in advance anyone who is reading this. Here is my serial and model number:- HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF
- SP# L22110-601
- PGTXL0GCYC12O4
- S/N on the casing: CZC912B82Y

Hello everyone. I have a Z240 workstation, and after a power outage it had a bad PSU(already fixed it), and a corrupted BIOS. Initially I had 2.2 blink code, which indicated corrupt DXE region.
Did a full dump of the original firmware, replaced BIOS region with version N51 from HP website, and now the error code is 5.3(EC firmware unable to communicate with BIOS).
Flashing the original one as a sanity check also didn't revert the error code(still 5.3). The original firmware version is N01(supposedly it wasn't updated since the original owner bought it).
I'm wondering... -
Hi all,
This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.
I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

Hello everyone, I am looking for help to make sure I am on the right track to remove lost BIOS Admin password on an HP EliteDesk G6 800 SFF. I recently purchased this on ebay and the seller is willing to accept a return but I have already installed my new HDs, NVME, and setup proxmox so I would like to keep it.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.
When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.
I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
