    DMI data extraction from BIOS dump.

    Would it be possible to extract the DMI data from a BIOS dump on Windows?

    It can be done on Linux using the dmidecode application.

    I need to get the HP/Compaq serial number etc from the BIOS dump to be able to put it in the newly flashed system.

    Thanks

      Re: DMI data extraction from BIOS dump.

      Clarify what you mean, the OEM-SLP keys are readily available at places like mydigitallife etc.
      Or are you talking about the SLIC itself?

          No, not the SLIC. I need to get the HP Model number, serial number, PCID, OS Type variables from the BIOS dump.

          I know how to get it from a working system, but not from a saved dump.

          Thanks

              Yea it should be possible, look in the SMBIOS using for example mmtool if it's an AMI based BIOS

                  Yes that's exactly what I need. Is there a tool for Insyde BIOSes but?

                      There are hardly any tools for Insyde unfortunately. However, the relevant serial codes can be found on the back of the computer, under the battery compartment. The data can then be written using the HPBQ138.EXE tool ran from a DOS bootable USB drive.

                              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...

                              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:

                              Hi all,

                              My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                              The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                              When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                              (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                              NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)

                              Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).

                              I need to reconstruct the bios on my board, based on another bios image form a real board - meaning a bios image containing MAC address, UUID and Serial number. A stock BIOS is not suffiecient, as it is impossible to discover where the MAC, UUID and SerialNumber are stored. Tried with a similar board, but there are too much differences, and the stock BIOS is missing a lot of...
