        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

          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...

                Dell Inspiron 3471 BIOS Corrupted
                by grimacelord
                Hello,

                A client brought me their Dell Inspiron 3471 desktop after they shutdown the computer in the middle of it performing a BIOS update. They somehow believed that the BIOS update process was "fake" and so they shut it down even though the BIOS update flash screen told them DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. They did it anyway and of course that corrupted the BIOS. The computer still turns on and it does attempt to go through BIOS Recovery, but it fails and loops back to the beginning. All other options to recover also do not work.

                I removed the BIOS IC chip from...

                by Antonio Velaro
                Hello everyone,
                I need help unlocking the BIOS password on a Dell Vostro 14-3468.

                • 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

                Automated software tools (like Dell BIOS Tools v2.5) failed to find the patterns due to the new encryption style.

                [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,...
