    Apple MacBook Air 820-00165-A BIOS Cleanup

    Hi all, I am working on a Apple MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A logic board. The BIOS got corrupted & shorted & there was no way to excess the Bins. This is why I ordered a fauly board from AliExpress. Removed the EFI BIOS from there & soldered on my Logic board. Works great but the BIOS needs cleanup. I could not find the string Ssn & I am totally lost on what string will I edit the serial # & Checksum. I am uploading the Bin file, can anyone clean this for me pls. so that I can change the serial # by myself or do me a favor by injecting Unit serial # C1MPV1FGG940. Also attach screenshot from UEFI Tool. Thanks in advance

          Thank you so much Siddig, but the BIOS did not have a password. It was the serial # which I had issues.. Hope someone else help to get the serial # injected... Thanks

                      🛠️ 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
                      ...

                      [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
                      by cr4zychriss
                      Hello everyone,
                      I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
                      I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

                      ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
                      by pirati
                      Hello everyone,

                      I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

                      When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

                      I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...

                      I'm looking for a BIOS modder or anyone with experience who would give me suggestions about my razer blade's BIOS settings.

                      The BIOS files I'm working with are from badcaps.net and those are CLEAN BIOS files (anyone can find it with the search string: RZ09-0421).
