    Dear do a PRAM reset... Command +Option+P + R & power on button. Do NOT leave these 4 keys till you hear the chime, you can leave the Power Button after pressed, BUT NOT THESE KEYS .. Do this twice better.. All should be fine...

    I thing this is the ME region XD (https://logi.wiki/index.php/Clean_EFI_ME_Region) I see on this link. I will trying again.

Isn't this info stored on the EEPROM or somewhere else. Have I done something wrong or it going with the Serial # written onto the BIOS. Can someone kindly check what wrong am I doing as the school info is not erasing. Thanks in advance. MacBoook Air A1466 Serial # FVFWMZNBJ1WK EMC 3178 Logic Board # 820-00165-A
    Don't worry dear., I forgot to do that PRAM reset. All data earsed & registered to a New user. BTW if someone can explains, is there another EEPROM hidden on the logic board, mean where does the previous data sit for a while???? I would appreciate if someone knows this & informs all the interested ones. Thanks

This machine is an A1466 EMC3178 (it has Big Sur, so maybe the firmware was updated in the process of Big Sur installation, because the original EMC was EMC2678). I'll go to update here the bin file which is (suposedly) giving me this error, so I beg your help. TIA for your always invaluable help.

    The machine data is:

    MacBook Air A1466 SN is: FVHYHWZAJ1WK.You can also read in the back cover EMC3178. The MoBo is 820-00165-A.
    It must be the latest batch, because it has Big Sur installed without tricks. It has 8Gb RAM, and only 120Gb SSD (I'm going to change it, amongst other things, like the startup delay problem...annoying!).

    EDIT: This happens even without internal SSD. Even when you reset NVRAM; the time between chimes is veeeery looong. The curious thing is that, once started, the machine works like a charm (well...with Big Sur...I don't like it, but it works normally). I was thinking about the SMC reset signal, which can be "delayed" by any reason. But all signals in the scope appears well, compared to an older, working normally board (older, of course).
    here it should boot faster now.

    HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
    by iZakre
    Hello everybody!

    To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

    The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...

    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....

    HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2523nd - Dimm2 slot disabled after corrupt bios repair? Advice requested.
    by Bloodhoundje
    Hi everyone,

    I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

    I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

    After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

    I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
