    HP ProBook 635 Aero G8 - power on with only 0.02A - fix empty BIOS please

    Laptop powering with only 0.02A load.
    No short circuit found, so I try to read BIOS.
    It looks very "empty", isn't it?

    Can anyone check it, please?

    This is my dump from CH341A.

    Model: HP ProBook 635 AERO G8, S/N: 5CG1342VLN, ID: 43A50EA#BCM

    Thank you for your time.

    Reread the chip, CH341A sometimes gives incorrect results.

      I tried it several time. I didn't find any working DUMP for this model. I would like to try flash another file.

          Where to dig new file when there is no original file.

              Just for information - I did not find there is a two pieces of 256 mbit SPI FLASH, sorry. When I put heat on the bottom BIOS chip, laptop start.. So, it was really a BIOS problem, but the CHIP itself.

                Bricked HP Probook 450 G7 Bios questions
                by studdy05
                Hp Probook 450 G7 s# SCD0348W35 had a locked BIOS. Bought BIOS and EC chips off Ebay that were supposed to match this machine - the 450 G7. Flashed in the BIOS on chip i bought using a CH341. BIOS unlocked next boot. Some error to contact HP. Entered BIOS and reset to system defaults and rebooted. Machine worked fine but every cold boot the contact HP message popped and everything else worked as fine. Assumed the error was from EC chip not matching BIOS that i just flashed in. So i flashed in the EC that was supposed to match from the EBay chip i bought and instant brick.

                Ive got...

                🛠️ 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
                ...

                Need (unlocked) bios for HP Probook 450 G3 Notebook
                by the_raz
                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 😝
