    Try romove the ram and star the laptop with out ram memory see if any changes done
    is the laptop has an ec chip (the io memory chip) if yes you need to flash it too
    if no you need a working bios with the same cpu as your laptop

            hi can you measure these components that I am missing and maybe some others that I have missed. I have been looking for a schematic where I can cross reference this BIOS chip but couldn't find any online so the only hope now is to find a working board which is not possible for me as of now. would greatly appreciate it.

            this is the BIOS chip from the back near the EC chip.

                The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
                by STKR123
                Greetings badcaps community,

                I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                I learned that desoldering...

                Elitebook 850 G5 BIOS bricked
                by Guest
                Hello,

                I have an EliteBook 850 G5. After a Windows update, including a BIOS update, the notebook turns on, but the screen remains black, and the fans spin at high speed—nothing else happens.

                I assume the BIOS update failed, so I searched for the BIOS chip.

                I found a Winbond chip located between the RAM and the hard drive, which has a size of 32 MB.

                However, the BIOS update available on HP's website is only 17 MB in size. I used the update version that was previously installed when the notebook was still working.

                Can the corrupted...

                ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                by jbonavita
                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,...
