Hi, I have Dell precision 5540 laptop from old workplace,decommissioned old stock. its a good spec laptop i9-9880H etc, so I decided to keep it and use it for personal purposes.
I was checking bios settings and I found that Absolute (Computrace) is permanently enabled/activated, and field is grayed out, unable to change it to disabled/deactivated state. The laptop status is clean, absolute has no any warnings or messages booting pre-bios pre-OS or post booting, while using laptop, im just not feeling safe having absolute permanently enabled having backdoor on a bios level enabled to my system. Can this be patched/disabled via bios mod?
I can read/dump bios if anyone is willing and are able to help?
Many thanks
