    Embedding Windows OEM key into BIOS

    Hello!

    There was a problem with BIOS on my Dell Latitude E7440. I've made a backup just in case and reflashed both EC and MAIN BIOS. After I had to do update to latest version because the laptop would not turn on. (I've managed to turn it on once in 10-20 tries). Now it works just fine but I lost the embedded OEM key.

    I have the key from original backup and I've tried to use ME Tool to change the key but it does nothing.

    Found the address line where the key is stored but when I write it in new dump also nothing happens.

    Is there any way to embed the key again?

    Thanks!

          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,...

          Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
          by Wahaz
          Hello,

          I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
          So I thought it was a Bios problem.
          I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

          acer v3-772g bios clock and windows
          by mosfetratus
          bios clock is not in sync with windows or linux.

          When i remove OS HDD and manually set bios clock, time settings remain. But when i boot windows it keeps reset, other bios settings are not reset.

          Battery is 3V full of life, it is replacement. Before it had a dead battery and the bios posted date like 2033, etc, after every restart.

          Now with a working battery i don't get clock sync with bios and windows.

          Laptop: acer v3-772g, uefi linux or windows - same bios thing.
          Latest bios revision, because it's gtx 850m version MB (last ...
