    Copying/getting BIOS content problem.

    Hello,

    I am trying to copy the BIOS content, since a user replied to my post in the laptop repair section, and told me that this is a good starting point on my situation. I CAME here, to the BIOS section, and read the guides there, but just to be sure... I downloaded two files, a BIOS configuration utility, sp143621.exe, and a HP UEFI Support Environment, sp61101.exe.

    When I run the configuration utility on the cmd,

    It gives me an error, system not supported, unable to connect to HP WMI namespace:'root\HP'

    Then, I tried to install HP UEFI Support Environment, but It asks me to do a partition, and before accepting, I want to ask.

    I changed the original hard drive to an SSD one.

    I believe that at some point I updated the BIOS. In any case, in System Information on Windows 7 64 bits, the BIOS information says

    BIOS Version/Date Hewlett Packard F.27, 21/12/2011
    SMBIOS Version 2.6

    My laptop is an HP Pavilion dm4 -1065dx, and the problem I have is that the power/charging led that needs to be on to switch on the computer, gets on after a lot of time since I plug the laptop to the electricity. I am using an external monitor, and I use It without battery. It failed years ago.

    Thank you very much.​

    by jhanra
    Hi there masters, recently i got a dell 5400 chromebook and wanted to install windows, i searched the internet and i found out other people also wanting a UEFI bios for this model, i searched there is a R/W legacy, but there are bugs like keyboard/trackpad not working, and hard to install.

    so i decided to try to port one, this bios is based on dell 5400 windows version, i am testing this bios for a week now an found only a little to no bug at all in windows 10, or only a minor issue
    in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…...

    πŸ› οΈ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
    by macabook
    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

    ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
    by jbonavita
    Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
    With original bios no POST, only LED lights
    With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
    Some issues
    A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
    B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

    Things I tried

    1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

    [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,...
