            Is this the BIOS, because when I read it it shows data like dell model number and ports configuration, but the bin file size is only 1024k
            And this is my programmer device.

                        UC5 is your bios = W25Q256JVEIQ
                        It's a WSON8_8X6 , you can't read it with clip...you must desoldered from motherboard and read it with programmer
                        Yes UC6 isn't populateted at your motherboard
                        You can read it using this clip
                        Wson8 8x6 and wson8 6x5

                          Thank you for the information, is there anyway to unlock the bios without desolder the BIOS?
                          I just moved from house to house, and all my machines are in boxes waiting until I rearrange my home.
                          The bios was locked by mistake.

                                For the new laptop that use generally a QFN bios chip , the 2 models ...wson8 for bios chip with 8x6 millimetres dimensions and the second for 6x5 millimetres.
                                For the laptop that use a soc bios chip i think sop8 208 millimteres is OK

                                          [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,...

                                          Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
                                          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, 😅😅😅...

                                          Dell latitude 5580, motherboard cdp 80 la-e151p

                                          3 amber 3 white blinks. Dell website sais it's problem "bios recovery" and suggested solution "recovery image not found"

                                          Hi,

                                          My Dell Precision T7910 died after enabling onboard SAS controller and applying RAID settings.

After applying settings and reboot PC turns on, flash leds (normally) but there's no further action, it just stays on with no graphics and no keyboard led's on. There's no Dell logo, nothing. I've tried resetting bios by jumper, replacing cpu's, replacing ram, removed/replaced cmos battery, disconnecting all drives etc. I've also dumped .bins from mobo chips SLI1 (16...
