      Hello, i just noticed the "OA3 ID" and "Preinstalled OS License" vanished after the bios flash, when installing a fresh copy of windows 11 it asks for a license key (before it didn't). Also the OA2 is now at "No" instead of "Yes". Is there a way to bring it back? I have a photo of the numbers that were under "Preinstalled OS License" and "OA3 ID".

        Copy it from another bios to yours using a hex editor. 45 56 53 41

                        Clean the ME firmware and it should fix the slow running https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...22#post1622422

                            Hi, unfortunately me too did NVRAM clearing while Hackintoshing and so bricked my Thinkpad L590.

                            Already been able to restore/flash BIOS (CH341A & AsProgrammer) with the outimage.bin.zip (13.76 MB) volinakis did so kindly posted .. many thanks for it

                            Currently now only missing OA3 and preinstalled OS Licenses .. as those been wiped out from BIOS settings

                            Luckily did record of them prior - Also believe have located those details from original bios bin file & done some copying over to outimage bin file

                            Preinstalled OS License SDK0J40697 WIN .. seems common to many other so not specific to my laptop & win lic
                            OA3 ID < 13 digit number > ... seems specific ID of my laptop maybe embedded authorize for Windows license



                            So have copied (from the original dump) and added those LIC and OA3 details to outimage bin file (w Hex editor) .. so ready to test if it would do the trick
                            = Copied two sections having a.) LIC and b.) LIC + OA3 key + full Win Lic long format (XXXXX-XXXXX .. of 5x 5digits) .. visible

                            Questions pls help me
                            1.) How to insert ONLY those missing BIOS lic details ? Wonder if safe & easy way existing like with Lenovo tools / Win PowerShell commands
                            2.) Pls guide how bin file copy and editing should be done .. if not correct = Are any other specifics to be copied etc..


                            Here are my Laptop details with original bios file
                            Model LENOVO L590 ThinkPad 20Q8 S0EL18
                            Serial PF277J2M
                            BIOS 1.33 (R0ZET55W)


                            == Pls. kindly fix/adjust it to fully operational would be really really great

                            L590_PF277J2M_BIOS_ORIGINAL.rar

                              Hi all,

                              as subject line says, I have a laptop that reboots after 30 minutes. Investigation leads me to believe that is due to intel ME as it happens everytime after 30 minute from boot, it just turns off, no overheating, nothing weird.
                              I found a lot of information about cleaning ME like this https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/gu...lization/31277 and this https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner
                              Anyway, first step is to dump the bios. I found the Winbond W25Q64FV chip on the motherboard, dumped it with flashrom over...

                              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...

                              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,...

                              Hi everyone,

                              I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

                              I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

                              After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

                              I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
