    HP DV4-2045dx Bios Issues

    Computer turns on gives 2 flashing lights.

    From what HP says this is a BIOS corruption

    Got my USB drive formatted it to FAT32 dropped the partition size to 32MB since some said too large of a drive can cause issues.

    Downloaded the BIOS for the computer. Extracted the files

    Loaded the BIOS .fd file over to the USB. Deleted the BIOS version Fxx number from the end and changed to a .BIN file

    Put it in the computer held Windows+B and plugged in power and pressed power button

    No matter what button combo I hold it will not read from the USB drive. It never lights up the USB activity light.
    The fans run on high and the computer just runs but never reads from the USB.
    Ive tried the eSata/USB port and the two other USB port no difference.


    Suggestions?

      You need a bios programmer for this

          Dell Latitude 5431 issues with dumping bios
          by Sathsul
          So, i kinda spend significant ammount of the last couple of days trying to flash a new bios, and or unlocking the current bios password with little to no results.
          The whole thing started with it being the 8fc8 bios, i found the tools to unlock that but i needed a bios dump. So i pursued that, im at a point where i dessoudered the chip, and succesfully soudered it to the ch341, dumped whatever was on it.
          However, the tools supposed to unlock the 8fc8 say that there is no 8fc8 hex inside. And when i followed diffrent tutorials to just flash a new bios onto the chip i got stuck on the...

          XGPro TL866II Plus BIOS 1.8v issues - noob assistance
          by kalemaroni
          I've finally bought myself a BIOS programmer XGPro TL866II Plus and am going through old donor boards and logging the BIOS's I have in stock and testing out reading and writing but having some issues with reading 1.8v BIOS's. I have bought the 1.8v adapter.

          The problem is it's detecting the BIOS's but not reading them. I bought a second 1.8v adapter from a different supplier and this one has a different chip on it as seen in pic but still doesn't work.

          I've attached pictures of the chip, the adapter and side views to show that it's straight and down all the way through....

          Dear Forum Readers!

          I'm looking for a BIOS modder or anyone with experience who would give me suggestions about my razer blade's BIOS settings.
          I can view and edit the content of the BIOS .bin file with AMIBCP BIOS editor.

          [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,...
