      Lenovo T490 - motherboard serial - windows licence lost - after corrupt bios chip replacement
      by baletak
      Hi,
      had T490 with faulty bios chip. Bought chip out of ebay and soldered on. Laptop starts and works however serial numbers of laptop and motherboard do not match.
      I have updated laptop model number.

      1) I did not find the way to update laptop serial number - I have this one.
      2) I dont know where to get my motherboard serial number and how to update it. Is it somewhere physically on the mainboard? How do I update it?

      Hope to find someone to help me with this as I am hitting dead end at the moment.

      Many thanks

      [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
      by hyperwood
      Hi everyone,

      I’m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

      The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

      I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip – and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

      āœ… What I need:
      • A working 2MB BIOS dump
      • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
      ...

      Elitebook 840 G5 Bios Chip Soldering Question
      by Azurain
      Hi everyone,

      I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5 that I am trying to get working again. I've removed the front bios chip (the 32mb one) and have run it through HP unlocker already. I've uploaded and verified the new bin, but am now experiencing an issue that has led me to believe I've been soldering the chip back to the motherboard incorrectly.

      Essentially, after re-soldering the chip back into its place and reassembling the laptop, the charging light immediately flashes orange and white and then shifts to a solid white. The capslock and numlock lights blink seven times...
