    HP Elitebook 840 G8 Endpoint security controller issue

    Hello!

    I have a laptop HP ELITEBOOK 840 G8 with bios admin password which I wanted to remove by programming the ec chip on the bottom of the motherboard. I read the file with RT809 and put FFs in hex from the first NvramActiveRegn until the next many FFs in the hex. Flashed it back, bios pass got removed but now I have another error at post: There is a problem with the hp endpoint security controller on the unit.

    Any ideas? Please find attached the files (original bios+ec and the unlocked ec file)

          Hi and thanks you for the file. Is this only for the BIOS chip?
          So both chips need programming after all to remove the admin pass? Or bios admin and hp endpoint are 2 different things?

              HP Elitebook 830 G8 HP Endpoint Controller error and no power issue (intermitent)
              by Nene01
              Hi all,

              I have a HP Elitebook 830 G8 with endpoint controller error and besides that laptop sometimes doesn´t power on and i think it´s bios related also.
              I already tried to solve the issue with SMDFlea patch fix and now i can´t power on the equipment anymore not even replacing main bios by its original.

              Please take a look at my original main bios and help me if possible (i also attached EC BIOS without password).
              The mainboard also had password that i manage to remove.

              Thanks
              Best Regards...

              HP Elitebook 840 G5 Endpoint Security Controller Problem
              by filewalker
              Hi,

              I have recently bought a Laptop that has a Endpoint Security Controller Problem. According to the seller it has just appeared all of the sudden.

              Things I have tried so far:
              • Restore the security settings to defaults and restart the laptop
              • Disable all the security options
              • Clear the NvramActiveRegn areas (replace with FF) Hex Area 37000-38FF0


              Also I have checked the DMI Information which seems right according to the stickers on the mainboard.

              Is there anything else I can try?...

              Problem with the HP Endpoint Security Controller - HP ProBook 450 G8
              by fede77
              Notebook HP ProBook 450 G8
              ProdID 2K8L1LT#AC8
              Mother: DAX8QAMB8D0 REV D

              The device had bootloop issues. I reprogrammed the EC BIOS and the main BIOS, extracted from an HP 440 G8 with the same motherboard, and I was able to start the device. However, every time I turn it on, I get the error 'There is a problem with the HP Endpoint Security Controller in the unit.' I tried disabling several security options in the BIOS, but the error still appears. Additionally, when I attempt to update the BIOS, both BIOS chips get corrupted again....
