Yes it's exactly what I mean...Write your BIOS chip again with the content what you provided in post 83
There is no error "Your system is not fully configured. Please contact HP customer support." right?...just the FAR error...
Then try to rewrite your DMI data according to what you have...even without any tool, just go to BIOS settings and enter the missing data at option "Set Machine Unique Data" when entering the bios...you have it all in the second file you provided in post 83Comment

Have a nice day!
Can I find a description somewhere for the newer series of HP machines that no longer work with HPUnlocker? I don't want to post on the forum with every machine if I can solve it myself.Comment

I tried it based on the video I found on youtube, but the password remains, but the keyboard is not detected. I will upload the original bios, please someone delete the password!

Echoo the fix for the intel hardware for this generation is to wipe the EC firmware NVRamActriveRegn section, about 4Kb. That section isn't populated in the AMD EC firmware but i've found it in a different area. Going to try wiping it and see if works!Comment

Reporting back that it did not work :/ didn't brick the system or see any messages about bios recovery which we get when we make any edits to the main bios - but the bios password remained
Also tried wiping the EC firmware entire, system recovered it. So i tried wiping the EC firmware and flashing an 'unlocked bios' created with the older HPUnlocker tool. Still no dice.Comment

Looks like somebody figured this all out months ago. Trying this now, post 161

Edit - I need to learn how to read, this is the Intel based system. Naturally the ECUnlock script works.Comment

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,... -
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

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... -
Hi,
Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate... -
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...
