    Chinese windows tablet bios lock removal

    Long story short: bought a 8” generic windows tablet (based on Atom x5-z8350, bios chip model is Gigadevice 25LQ64CVIG, uefi vendor is AMI Aptio) for some experiments, and it came with bios lock! I dont have any decent 1.8v programmers at hand nor do i have knowledge in modding uefi firmware, so decided to play safe: dumped the bios with AFU utility, which i attach here. I am hoping to get it unlocked. Also included hwinfo screenshots with general information, the board itself looks generic without any markings.

          [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
          by cr4zychriss
          Hello everyone,
          I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
          I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details
          • Barebone / Chassis: TongFang GK7MRFR
          • MB: MB: GK5MP5X V1.0 Prod :GK5MRFV10T04201310281

          ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
          by pirati
          Hello everyone,

          I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

          When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

          I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
