    How to transfer information from one BIOS to another?

    Hi.
    I am starting to learn about UEFI BIOS.
    At the moment I have Lenovo laptop with bad BIOS.
    I tried to clean ME region and transfer EC region from a known working BIOS, but the laptop does not POST (just fan spin).
    So there is something else bad.
    If I flash a know working BIOS, the laptop POSTs and boots into Windows.
    But the problem is, that the serial numbers, Windows key, and every thing else is from another laptop.


    Where do I start to transfer the S/N, Windows key and other information from one BIOS to another?

    Thank you.

      Hello,

      I think it’s not the right forum section you have a dedicated section related to bios.


      You have to copy DMI informations.
      Location dépends Of the brand/model Of laptop.

      For Windows serial search in hexa :

      010000000000000001000000000000001D000000

      you can read that too:

          ASUS ZenBook UX480F : need help with cleaning the ME region of my BIOS dump
          by mkdj
          Dear all,
          I have a ASUS ZenBook UX480F with the following symptoms:



          I suspect it is a BIOS issue. So I decided to try to clean the ME region. I followed the guide on win-raid, and I believe I have done everything correctly. My problem is: when I open the outimage.bin in ME Analyzer, it says that it is Extracted, and not Region, Extracted as it should be. Is it normal, or did I do something not correctly? This is my first experience editing BIOS files.

          I would appreciate if someone could take time to explain the issue, so that I can learn. But I would...

          Bricked bios from a legion y540-15irh (81sx) . Needing dmi/clean me region maybe
          by Lexsmash85
          Edit: apologies, I only need help with the DMI info.. I thought the ME region would need attention in order to recover from bricked state but maybe I misunderstood.

          Im a novice to this experience but in short, I performed a backlash from the latest and final bios firmware BHCN45WW to BHCN26WW hoping that would solve an issue with keyboard functionality failing after an update. Ended up hanging during flash process and then system would no longer POST on reboot.

          USB recovery process didn't seem to take. So today I successfully managed to get the BIOS dump from my machine...

          ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
          by pirati
          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...

          Dear Forum Readers!

          I'm looking for a BIOS modder or anyone with experience who would give me suggestions about my razer blade's BIOS settings.
          I can view and edit the content of the BIOS .bin file with AMIBCP BIOS editor.
          The BIOS files I'm working with are from badcaps.net and those are CLEAN BIOS files (anyone can find it with the search string: RZ09-0421).
