    HP EliteBook 840 G4

    Hi, I've tried RC Unlocker but I don't really know what bin file to use. I've tried a couple but the Administrator password is still on the BIOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

      The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
      by STKR123
      Greetings badcaps community,

      I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
      So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

      Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

      I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

      These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

      🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
      by macabook
      Hello everyone,

      I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
      🧩 Initial Issue
      • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
      • External display (HDMI) shows

      Elitebook 850 G5 BIOS bricked
      by Guest
      Hello,

      I have an EliteBook 850 G5. After a Windows update, including a BIOS update, the notebook turns on, but the screen remains black, and the fans spin at high speed—nothing else happens.

      I assume the BIOS update failed, so I searched for the BIOS chip.

      I found a Winbond chip located between the RAM and the hard drive, which has a size of 32 MB.

      However, the BIOS update available on HP's website is only 17 MB in size. I used the update version that was previously installed when the notebook was still working.

      Can the corrupted...
