        so after a few trial and error i figure out how to remove absolute in this sh*t.
        first thing you need to do is unlock the bios password.
        in this block address from 00037000 to 00037930 use any hex editor fill with hex (ff)
        then use this patched main it will auto recover DMI and unlock the absolute lock. it also works in no display/ late display no need Rebuild.
        at first boot it will promt final step of bios update. be patient
        no need to reset security defaults. it will promt controller error just enter and it will also promt identity mismatch but its okay just click enter and viola its done.

          or you can use BCU (after unlock bios) to read config and change Absolute * from Lock to *Unlock, save file and write new config file. Also you can permanently disable Absolute in config file.

                      Hello my dear friend! It seems that I accidentally removed and lost one diode near the chip, now the laptop does not turn on. I can’t say the result of the firmware.

                        Hello! The service installed the resistor I needed, which I accidentally removed. But unfortunately the laptop does not turn on with the original and unlocked BIOS. The diode on the Caps Lock button lights, and the diode on the charging port blinks white, power button doesn't turn on. I think the problem is with the BIOS, what can you advise?
                        Here are the original bios:​

                                    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...

                                    Dell Optiplex 7010 micro bad BIOS flash?
                                    by mrrubik
                                    Hi folks,

                                    I got a Dell Optiplex 7010 micro PC (Exact Model) with 8FC8 BIOS and locked out admin password. I attempted to remove the password by patching the BIOS via info from this thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ssword-patcher
                                    After flashing the patched the BIOS, the PC is unresponsive with a solid AMBER power LED (not documented in manual anywhere)

                                    Steps I took:
                                    1. Read BIOS with CH341a, verified hash twice
                                    2. Patched

                                    Is it okay to flash stock bios onto the motherboard's BIOS?

                                    Hi there,
                                    I have a 14" Lenovo Laptop (Flex 5 14ALC05) which has a boot issue.
                                    The little LED on the power button is flashing slowly and nothing happen.
                                    This unit do not have any BIOS button cell battery so I tried many times draining the power but it is still not powering on.

                                    So I decided to flash the BIOS using a cheap programmer.
                                    And I was successfully able to read the content (exactly 16MB file) which BTW is a WINBOND 74m12jwsiq (according to the package inscription - but detected as W25Q128FW in the software - IMSProg on Linux)

                                    I also...

                                    Request: SPI Flash BIOS Dump (Winbond 25Q128) for Dahua NVR4216-4KS2
                                    by spmetroil
                                    Hello,

                                    I am trying to repair a Dahua NVR4216-4KS2 that is not booting.
                                    The main BIOS/firmware is stored in an SPI flash EEPROM (Winbond 25Q128, labeled as U130 on the PCB).

                                    I have a CH341A programmer and I already attempted the following steps:
                                    1. Identified the correct chip (W25Q128, 3.3V SPI flash).
                                    2. Tried to read the contents with CH341A Programmer software. The dump seems corrupted and I often get the error: “Chip with the contents are in disagreement.”
                                    3. Compared several chip type selections (24Cxx and 25Qxx families) to confirm it is indeed a 25 series SPI
