    No they aren`t standard offsets in PC bios.Each motherboard maker has their own DMI tools ,and Dell,Acer etc have their own DMI tools as well thats sets where the DMI info is stored in the bios,or the EC.Using a hex editor only works with some bios`es.

      curiously, i noticed this while fussing with the laptop... not only is the windows info gone, but the hw UUID, serial number, etc...



      in apple EFI it's very easy to find hwsn, uuid, MLB.no, etc when replacing logic board, but these PC bios are greek to me!

            existing bios was corrupted. replacement bios worked fine, but had to copy windows licensing info over. unfortunately I haven't spent much time working with PC laptop bios, not since modding SLIC tables for win7 activation heh

                    lenovo flex 5 14ITL05 bios and motherboard fault
                    by claws77
                    my laptop is lenovo flex 5 14ITL05

                    recently my power supply for this laptop developed a fault.
                    which caused a short in my usb c port -- verified with a new charger.

                    rant: so, i went to the repair tech in my country, he asked for a huge repair cost when i decided to get it done someplace else this "great person" nicked my bios chip, asked me to be aware for repair scams lol.
                    I was stupid and unable to find the flaw at the moment. Another repair tech told me that my bios chip was stolen and an 8mb bios chip is in place of that. he told me that a 32...

                    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] 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:
