    locked lenovo T520i

    Hello,
    I have a lenovo T520i locked with supervisor password.
    Anyone can share a bios dump in order to try it?
    I'm not sure if I can bypass it with a new bios dump but I'll give it a try.

            The first one worked but didn't unlocked the system.
            It seems it also has a TPM chip that stores that information.

              is there any other eeproms? if there are, maybe you could dump it so that i could take a look but i doubt i can be done without dump from unlocked laptop

                  T520i model is a bit different from T520 so the TPM chip is not the same or is not at the same place.
                  Here are some photos.
                  Also I'm not sure if my bios programmer is capable of reading that kind of eeprom.

                      Need BIOS Dump/ROM for Lenovo Thinkstation p500
                      by AHmad_Salal
                      Hello all,
                      I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P500 that is stuck at post with no display, it happened after I changed the memory timings in bios. I can not clear CMOS using the jumper on the motherboard, also tried re-flashing bios suing a USB stick but it also doesn't work. The only solution that I can think of right now is re-flashing the bios chip using an external programmer but the problem is that I don't have the bios dump of p500 for flashing externally and I don't know the location of bios chip. If someone can provide the bios dump and bios chip location it would be really helpful....

                      Request HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 (J06) BIOS dump to restore system firmware
                      by Ahari
                      Hi all,

                      This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

                      I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

                      I...

                      [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
                      ...

                      I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
                      by Habble7
                      The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

                      Suspected Cause:
                      I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

                      Troubleshooting Attempts:
                      ...

                      Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Gen 3 AMD locked bios
                      by fulaphex
                      hello friends - I have purchased a used Thinkpad X13 Gen 3 AMD variant and only after making the purchase I realised that the BIOS is locked. I have spent a bit of time browsing the forum and from what I understand it's possible the modify the BIOS that is currently on the machine and remove the password from that BIOS. For dumping the BIOS from the laptop I have ordered this ch341a programmer. Below is a photo of the password prompt:


                      I have taken the cover off the laptop and I found that "serial number" is "GM-0358MB" and "type number" is "21CN-S19U00"....
