        Steps i done and results:

        I exported a clean bios from update file via pfs extract.

        1. Build clean bios with clean ME, PMC, PCH in flash image tool.
        Result: Dead

        2. Build clean bios with no changes in ME, new PMC, PCH
        Result: Dead

        3. Build old bios with clean ME, new PMC, PCH
        Result: The same

        GDM51 LA-L242P Rev:1.0(A00) 2021-07-04

          1st boot, press F2, write service tag, disable Absolute, save, restart.
          2nd boot press Alt+F to exit manufacturing mode.
          Good luck.

                Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop
                by TopPop
                Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

                I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

                Dell XPS-15 (9520) Mostly Bricked after common BIOS-Firmware upgrade - Full Repair Log
                by Tesla
                I have a Dell XPS-15 (9520) with the LA-L402P motherboard. It seems to have bricked itself after a common BIOS-Firmware upgrade. Now, it just shows BIOS screen for a few seconds before turning-itself back Off (and doesn't seem to be fully Posting). I've done these many times before with no problems.

                I was hoping to please have my own-thread to work-through this (hopefully successful) repair as a whole. Apart from the possible need to have a BIOS-dump fixed-up, I have a feeling I'm going to have other questions. This includes using my new XGecu-T76 for the first time (should be here...

                by Antonio Velaro
                Hello everyone,
                I need help unlocking the BIOS password on a Dell Vostro 14-3468.
                Here are the technical specifications of the laptop and the backup:
                • Laptop Model: Dell Vostro 14-3468
                • Service Tag: 3KK4SJ2
                • Lock Code Sufix: E7A8 / 6FF1 (The BIOS has been updated recently).
                • Motherboard Model: 15341-1 91N85
                • Chip Model: GigaDevice GD25B128C (16MB / 128Mbit)
                • Programmer used: XGecu TL866II Plus (Desoldered chip, clean 100% verified read).
                Automated software tools (like Dell BIOS Tools v2.5) failed to find the patterns due to the new encryption style.
                I am attaching my 100%...

                [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                by zenius
                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,...

                BIOS needed for Dell Vostro 3405
                by 417731
                Hi, I have a problem while updating the bios 1.27.0. After that the display went off & the bios states as Dell Inspiron 3505 in the F2 boot > bios > Device when I plug into a secondary monitor. As I don't have any experience in bios, request you to please help me to flash the Vostro bios as they share the common motherboard (GDI53 LA-K037P).
                Model: Dell Vostro 3405
                Tag:F0B1YF3
                CPU:Ryzen 3500U

                Thanks in advance
