    HP Folio 1040 G1 corrupted bios - new bios flash, unable to update DMI

    Hello all,

    I'm facing a strange issue, I do have my old bios where i can find some information about the laptop SN, build and so on for the DMI encoding.

    I did flash a new bios on the laptop and i have tried all the tools found everywhere on this forum and other forums but i'm unable to update all DMI info in the BIOS. I still get an error saying "Warning: Machine is not in committed state".

    Could somebody guide me on this or maybe help? I'm really hoping to find a way out of this bios thing...

    See attached old bios (corrupted for some parts in it. I did replace the chip as it was bad) and new one.

    Thanks a lot!

                      Help Disabling Flash Protection Range Registers on Lenovo P360 Tiny BIOS
                      by abhorsen
                      Hey guys,

                      Hope you all are doing well. I come here from Win-Raid because I am having issues disabling Flash Protection Range Registers so I can flash my BIOS from within Windows using Intel's IFW tool/using flashrom within Linux, however I cannot due to the above mentioned error.

                      Here is my thread on Win-Raid detailing the whole process I went through: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/re...h-gen/95478/27

                      Essentially I managed to boot into Windows while shorting PINs 1+5 of my audio chip to disable the HAP bit...

                      by FalconPunch
                      Hello everyone, I happen to have a Microsoft Surface Pro X 1876 in my hands. It was brought to me by a friends which happen to have taken off the bios chip to test another motherboard. Upon putting back the bios chip on the original motherboard, The PC is stucked on Windows logo and won t boot to bios or anything. I suspect that the changes of bios chip somehow corrupted the firmware inside. Is the hypothesis correct?

                      Also i extracted the bios inside the chip which was on Winbond 25R128JWPQ you can find the file attached if you can fix it (if possible, I would like some insight on...
