840 G1 BIOS MOD HELP

[Zilicon]

Greetings everyone.
Please i need help in building a flashable BIOS firmware from exe executable.
please, i need a tutorial on how i can achieve that.

I'm currently working on Elitebook 840 G1. the user forced to shutdown when the PC was updating. the pc does not recognized HDD or NGFF since then. i've fetch various BIOS dump but none helped.

i want to try to build the firmware from the update.
I have fetched the updated file and extracted it with 7-zip, the bin file size is 8mb, meanwhile the BIOS image file is 16mb.

the extracted file did not contain the ME region. this is where i need help so that i can have the total 16mb flashable file.

i will appreciate learning how to do it. any tutorial will be appreciated.

thank you all

Look for another bios chip, it might be on the other side of the board. When you find it post your backup and Type the laptop serial number, full name and model, motherboard model, etc.

Thank you so much SMDFlea.

There is another BIOS chip, 2MB, beside the main BIOS. Attached are the backups of the file and the backup of the main BIOS.

However, I can't vouch for the originality of the backup file, because the PC has been taken to at least one repairer before I laid my hands on it.

I thought EC was an 8MB or 16MB file, not 2MB. Maybe you misread the chip.

I made several backups, all were the same size.
the size also coincide with the bios dump+EC that I found on the net- 16mb and 2mb respectively
