          Re: BIOS Programmer CH341A

          Does anyone have the latest firmware for this BIOS Programmer CH341A.. & why this programmer does not Auto-detect the W25Q64FVIG/W25Q64FVZPIG chips, its detects the closet matching ones. Is it because my firmware is not updated???

            Well, the firmware depends on your motherboard's manufacturer, there's not a one-for-all solution. Anyhow, I had the same problem with the programmer not recognizing the bios chip and solved it by installing the programmer's drivers with driver signature enforcement disabled

              Thank you, Sorry I meant to say the latest Programmer Software (Not firmware) & can you inform me where did you find the latest Programmer's drivers & how did you disable the signature enforcement?? Your help will be appreciated...

                    W25Q128FV (WINBOND)

                    Wich option should I choose to unlock?
                    Thank you screenshots below

                      Re: RCUnlocker

                      The program "SiberiaProg CH341A v1.45" seems to list chips closer to mine but the text seems to cut out. In any case dumps seem to unlock whatever IC I choose so is it crucial? I'd like someone's input before I try to not kill my bios.

                      Thank you

                            It's almost always happening when you have a bad contact between the chip and the programmer - clean the chip with alcohol, do not use a clamp...

                                  My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
                                  1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
                                  2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
                                  3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

                                  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...

                                  Hello everyone, I am looking for help as I am struggling to remove lost BIOS Admin password on an HP EliteDesk G6 800 series desktop. I wanted to reset the vPro remote control IP kvm for homelab use.
