    Need (unlocked) bios for HP Probook 450 G3 Notebook

    I'm requesting a bios .bin for 2 of my hp Probook 450 G3's. Both of which I had forgotten the bios passwords. I stupidly flashed both of them with firmware "made" by the RCUnlocker software and I guess I shouldn't have. The last thing I did was flash both of them with RCUnlocker-fw thinking it would 100% work and left my programmer etc behind and won't have access to them for another 2 days so I figured I'd create a thread to see if I'd be so lucky that someone might have a working file laying around 😝
    Laptop number 1:
    Model: HP ProBook 450 G3
    Motherboard part number: DAX61CMB6C0 REV.C
    Cpu Number :Unsure (I've got no labels, couldn't find) but it's a Intel Core i5
    Serial number: 5CD6223F1K

    Laptop number 2:
    Model: HP ProBook 450 G3
    Motherboard part number: DAX61CMB6C0 REV.C
    Cpu Number :Unsure (I've got no labels, couldn't find) but it's a Intel Core i5
    Serial number: Hadn't added it to hp's website so cant find that while laptop isn't working.

    Both laptops are identical in terms of hardware etc, they were bought at the same time a long time ago via a family members company and they bough a lot of them so I'm certain there's nothing setting them apart. The bios dumps provided are both of the bios pre any flashing, in working order only thing that they're both password locked.

    Thank you for your time

        Actually I'm sorry I'm just realizing the "original working dump" might not be "correct", I forgot to verify it before saving it. I'm not sure the importance of that, it's just that I just read somewhere that some chips should be worked on w a specific version of programmer, like 1.18 or something? Not sure how much lies in that though..

          Update: I tried flashing your bin with AsProgrammer V1.41 (got suggested for my chip Winbond 25Q128FV). On laptop #1, same as before nothing happening except for orange blinking charging indicator. However on laptop #2 white light on charging led when inserted then turns off, power button is lit up with a very dim light, barely visible and wifi-button glowing orange. I left it with the ac-cable in for a while then mute-sound button started glowing white. While it still doesn't boot that's giving me some hope.

            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,...

            Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
            by Wahaz
            Hello,

            I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
            So I thought it was a Bios problem.
            I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

            HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
            by Bloodhoundje
            Hi everyone,

            I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

            I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

            After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

            I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
