    ZBook 15 G1 Bios (not commited state)

    Hey there,

    I've replaced Motherboard and CPU of my HP ZBook 15 G1.

    Board Partnumber is 734304-001, CPU is i7-4710mq, GFX Quadro K1100m. (CPU used to be 4800mq)

    I set Serial, Board-CT and SKU with Nbdmifit and locked bios.

    Now I receive "machine is not in commited state". What's the reason for that message?

    I've tried to unlock MPM using BiosConfigUtility64 but it will not work.

    Any hints how to fix? Do I need SMC.bin?

    Thanks
    Markus

      Hey imranromi,

      thank you for your post and excuse my late reply.

      I have a CH341A programmer. I ve tried to read bios using programmer Version 1.18, 1.29 and 1.40 but it wont even recognize the winbond chip (25Q128FVSQ). I have no idea why it does not work. Removed RAM, HDD, DVD, unplugged front LEDs, Card Reader, main battery and cmos battery.

      Any hints?

      Regards

        I got this programmer: https://www.amazon.com/ARCELI-EEPROM.../dp/B077ZBBMHN

        I suppose I need 1,8V Adapter? Any recommendations?

              The EC is probably at fault. Can you post your bios backup .

                          🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
                          by macabook
                          Hello everyone,

                          I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                          🧩 Initial Issue
                          • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                          • External display (HDMI) shows
                          ...

                          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,...

                          Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                          by Wahaz
                          Hello,

                          I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                          So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                          I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
