    Can't use flashrom

    Hello,
    I'm new to the site and have a general question about a laptop I have.

    It is a HP Zbook 15u G2. I have attempted to get a backup of the bios with a bios clip attached to a CH341A. The board has 2 chips on it. One is a W25Q16.V which I can read and backup (only 2.1Mb in size). The is not readable because it is not supported by flashrom. It is a MX25L12873F and seeing as the other chip is only 2MBs I believe the bios is held on this chip.

    Is there anything I can do to remove the password lock on this laptop?

    Thanks

              Common SPI bios chip programming Questions and Answers
              ----------------------------------------------------------

              Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

              A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

              Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

              A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

              The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

              Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

              APC BR1000G battery backup has a weird issue sometimes a bad battery icon and making a weird sound for about 30 seconds
              by sam_sam_sam
              This started a few days ago and does this about every 8 hours

              After it does this it goes back to normal no bad battery icon and no weird sounds and it goes to battery backup mode so I am not sure what is going on with this battery backup

              The battery backup is about 3 or 4 years old

              Dose anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue I have never had a battery backup do this kind-a thing before so I am not sure exactly how to troubleshoot it and where to start

              But the...

              Access to flashrom archive on eletronicabr.com (?)
              by badcappo
              Hi there, looking for the flashrom-extension that is presented by a user called "Jack O'Neo" over on eletronicabr.com -> First post on Link: https://eletronicabr.com/forums/topi...s-para-windows

              The archive seems super useful to add more chip support to flashrom so that it becomes possible to read flash content from additional ECs e.g. ENE KB9022 which are used on many boards. However, the forum seems to have a tedious credit farming process to get to the download link . Maybe someone with access...
