      post the contents of the winbond chip 25Q128FVPQ, you need an SPI programmer ... more details can be found on the internet ..

                      you have an error because the program does not know the format of your file..transform your file format into
                      '.bin', and it will work ..

                          840 G3 BIOS unlock request

                          I tried the HP Unlock Tool on this BIOS dump but it did not work, the BIOS still has a password.

                          Could someone please unlock it for me?

                          Any assistance is appreciated.

                              Thanks for the attempt Lapfix but your file is identical to my file after it had been passed through HP Unlock Tool.

                                    BIOS File for HP Elitebook 840 G3

                                    Hi everyone, I purchased an HP Elitebook 840 G3 and it is BIOS lock. I have a CH341a board in order to repogram the BIOS, but I can't seem to find the BIOS in the manufacturer site. Does anyone know where I can get this?
                                    thanks

                                            Greetings badcaps community,

                                            I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                                            So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                                            Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                                            I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                                            These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                                            I learned that desoldering...

                                            Elitebook 850 G5 BIOS bricked

                                            Hello,

                                            I have an EliteBook 850 G5. After a Windows update, including a BIOS update, the notebook turns on, but the screen remains black, and the fans spin at high speed—nothing else happens.

                                            I assume the BIOS update failed, so I searched for the BIOS chip.

                                            I found a Winbond chip located between the RAM and the hard drive, which has a size of 32 MB.

                                            However, the BIOS update available on HP's website is only 17 MB in size. I used the update version that was previously installed when the notebook was still working.

                                            Can the corrupted...

                                            ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                                            by jbonavita
                                            Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                                            With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                                            With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                                            Some issues
                                            A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                                            B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                                            Things I tried

                                            1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                                            [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,...
