    Finding the laptop model from the BIOS file

    hi
    I have this file (backup) .. and I figured out the laptop model exactly from the sticker.
    But is it possible to determine the model exactly just by using a BIOS backup?
    I tried, but I can't do it with this one.

            This one is relatively easy, those strings are Unicode and this BIOS is extracted from a "working" laptop where the DMI data (model, serial number, SKU number, etc.) was filled at the factory
            EDIT: hoaca388 said the same thing

              Thanks everyone. I searched many times with different apps and found nothing. Now it’s clear

                  BIOS for Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 - Model 2036
                  by Loki_Fido
                  Hi ya folks,

                  Attached is the BIOS from a Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 - Model 2036
                  As of right now i am unable to confirm whether this BIOS dump works or not.
                  But i will update soon. Hopefully in a day or two.

                  Given that no one else uploaded any BIOS backup for this laptop, I thought i might as well start a new thread and upload what i have.

                  Remember, If you tried to read this chip with CH341A, this device will not identify this chip for you.

                  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.

                  TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" Bios Password Problem?
                  by traxformania
                  Hello,

                  I'm using TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" model laptop for over 3 years and i'm entering the same bios administrator password everyday. My laptop has Aptio BIOS (American Megatrends, AMI).

                  But today it's not accepting my password. I'm %100 sure i'm entering the correct password.

                  I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                  I tried :

                  -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...

                  Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
                  by m1ch43lzm
                  Hi everyone
                  I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
                  Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

                  Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
                  There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...
