    1f5a e6400 solved!

    HELLO! I've got solution for 1F5A bios to override master password.
    You have to downgrade bios to A14 using this method:
    use E6400A14.exe BIOS and with CMD line in windows create .HDR file "E4300A06.exe /writehdrfile"
    now the file E6400A14.hdr copy to pendrive.
    Take battery and power cord out, plug in usb.
    Hold END while you plug in power cord and release END when battery LED light start.
    If battery LED light blinks red/blue it should be flashing - wait till laptop restart.
    Now you have A14 BIOS and 1F5A change to 2A7B and online generator works for me.
    Type password, hold RIGHT CTRL, then ENTER.

    Try different USB ports and PENDRIVES.

    Of course command to create HDR file should be "E6400A14.EXE /writehdrfile" sorry for mistake.

        Did you google the file?
        I found it on dell ftp site in 10 sec.

        Sorry but if you dont kniw how to do that I doubt you'll manage to unlock your notebook.
        Just cook it! It's already broken.

            You should try disconnecting the hdd before doing this.

            Here you go Dell still has the bios page running.
            Here's the link http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/...driverId=K4H02

            Just follow the instructions posted previously.

                  Re: 1f5a e6400 solved!

                  I am trying to remove a -1F5A password from a Dell Latitude E4310 by downgrading the A11 BIOS to A09. I can download the BIOS .exe (E4310A09.EXE) file from Dell and copy it to the root directory of the laptop loaded with Windows 7. From the CMD prompt I can navigate to the root directory. However on executing the command E4310A09.EXE /writehdrfile I get a message "Invalid Command Line". My DOS is a bit rusty so I must be missing something. I have also tried this by booting from a USB and executing the above command directly in DOS, but nothing happens. I still don't extract the .HDR file. Has anyone got any ideas?

                                          by Bowline
                                          My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                                          Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                                          My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                                          The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                                          I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

                                          Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                          by Forest79
                                          Hello,

                                          I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                          The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                          However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                          BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
                                          by Sebastian Codrean
                                          Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
                                          The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
                                          So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

                                          Help to get Lenovo BIOS bin file for Thinkpad T560

                                          Hello Everyone,

                                          I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

                                          https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

                                          In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...
