Hello all, I have in a job lot a HP ProBook 640 G8, one of the bios chips is missing and I am not
sure the chip that's fitted is even the original chip looks like its been replaced.
SN, 5CD1360KBZ
MB, DAOX8QMB8E0 REV E
Is there any hope for this laptop? I have tried every set of chips I can find with no luck.
Anyone have a good working set they could share please.
Thanks.Comment

What are the silkscreen markings for both, are there numbers like U365 or writing such as Bios1 EC_Bios .Backup the chip thats there and open it with HxD, download the bios from post 1 and open that as well, scroll through each one, if yours is a close match then it`s the main bios, but not necessarily the right one. Search for the serial number in the bios with HxD, a text search,and for the Text encoding option select Unicode ,if the serial number is found thats good. The main bios at post 1 has 3 chips in the VSCC table, see the picture below

Thank SMDFlea for trying to help on this one, It turns out the bios chip I have is the original.
I have got this info from the bin file, the mac looks a little odd to me.
Product Name : HP ProBook 640 G8 Notebook PC
Serial Number : 5CD1360K8Z
Product Configuration ID : 2Q013AV
BuildID : 20WWISDT601#SAK8#DAK8
FeatureByte : 3X476J6S6b7B7H7M7Q7W7m7saBaEapaqauawbUbhcAdUdpdqfAfPguhKhkjhk8mEn7nVpD.r7
System Board CT Number : PKXXL058JFM0RN
MAC Address : 88-88-88-88-87-88
I think the bios file at post 1 is a EC bios file and the one I have from the laptop is the Main bios.
Any more help would be really good as not sure what now, do I try both files together in the laptop see if it displays anything?
Thanks so much mate. I added my main bios may help.

Hello SMDFlea thank you so much for your help, sorry I have been away for a few days, tested these files
all I get is an orange flashing led near the power supply, no post if anyone has any ideas that would be great thanks.
thanks again mate .Comment

I'm in this exact pickle too, did you get anywhere?Comment

No mate, it's still sitting here in bits may need another board or sell it for scraps.
There are not many sets of bios files online for this model, DAOX8QMB8E0 REV E
and I tested all I could find. didn't think to try a set for a another board model maybe I give this a go.
if you should fix please share.Comment

Just for completion, it became a right pickle which I’ve left for dead. I think I must have damaged a via or something as it was difficult to get the heat into the bios chip and I know I fried the wifi card next to, so a buried via or something on the back of the board could have easily been destroyed.
I Frankensteined a new laptop from its parts for about £100, and haven’t looked back. It was fun to play, no success this time.
Not jaded, just time to move on.Comment

Hp Probook 450 G7 s# SCD0348W35 had a locked BIOS. Bought BIOS and EC chips off Ebay that were supposed to match this machine - the 450 G7. Flashed in the BIOS on chip i bought using a CH341. BIOS unlocked next boot. Some error to contact HP. Entered BIOS and reset to system defaults and rebooted. Machine worked fine but every cold boot the contact HP message popped and everything else worked as fine. Assumed the error was from EC chip not matching BIOS that i just flashed in. So i flashed in the EC that was supposed to match from the EBay chip i bought and instant brick.

i recently got a new motherboard for my probook g1 650 but the bios was corrupted and unusable so i removed the bios chip from my old motherboard and transplanted it to the new board with the ati hd8750 dgpu. the dgpu does not function as the firmware is missing the video bios for it.
how do i fix this? the pc is running the latest L78 1.50 firmware. -
Hi all,
This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.
I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

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,...
