Hi everyone,
I have a Dell Latitude 5430 (Service Tag: 4HK5GK3) that originally had a BIOS password.
There are two BIOS chips on the motherboard. I identified the main chip and successfully read and saved its contents using a CH341A programmer.
Here's what I did:- I read and backed up the original BIOS from the main IC.
- I then erased the chip and flashed a clean BIOS file (no password) from the internet.
- After installing the chip back into the board, the laptop no longer powers on — only a brief power light when pressing the power button, then it shuts off immediately.
- I tried to recover by reprogramming the original BIOS dump back to the chip — but the laptop is still completely dead. Same behavior: power light flashes briefly and turns off.
- Determine what went wrong?
- Suggest how to recover this board?
- Is it necessary to flash the second BIOS IC as well?
Thanks in advance!Attached Files

You made a bad backup, it`s all zeros, that`s why it wouldn`t work when you flashed it back..
