    Aspire 4738zg bios needed

    Good day, I need help in removing bios password from a bin file. Owner flashed bios with incorrect one, laptop wont display. Then I tried searching the net for a working one because he didn't make a backup from old bios.

    I found a supposedly working one but it has password in it and wont boot further although it now displays. Acer website does not help because it's an exe file and I have no knowledge how to extract it. I have attach bios found on the net, if maybe someone can check it out. Or if you guys have a working one it'll be much appreciated. Thanks

      Unfortunately there's no code. I was hoping for that too. I haven't found any schematic for this either, to see if I can short something to reset the bios.

                  Thats odd, I tried the password but still wont enter. I also saw that pass when I changed option to ascII (which I forgot to do earlier) . Serial number is 04003996925. Thanks.

                        Re: Aspire 4738zg bios needed

                        According to the part number its an intel machine https://villman.com/Product-Detail/A...38ZG-P622G50Mn
                        So, you`ve got a base cover thats maybe different,a different motherboard,or a bios chip thats the wrong size with the wrong bios. Are there any stickers under the memory ?

                          None, but there's a print ZQE. and the motherboard model is DA0ZHKMB6C0 rev. C

                          Both processor is AMD

                                Thank You very much SMDFlea for patiently helping me. I haven't tried the last bios you uploaded but I managed to enter Bios Setup by typing the first password you gave but accidentally forgot to include the letter Y.

                                I mistyped and spelled it as TANGINAMO and it went through, have no clue bout it. I have also attached an image of some details about the bios. Please check.

                                Again, Thanks very much SMD and to all you guys.


                                PS. the password is a Filipino word that has a bad meaning so dont bother typing or saying it.

                                        Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                        by Forest79
                                        Hello,

                                        I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                        The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                        However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                        My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                                        The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                                        When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                                        (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                                        Hi im new and I have a question. I am in need of a bios file to flash my bios with preferably without the bios password included. I have a Tuf f15 gaming laptop. The model is a TUF506L. The bios chip is a Winbond W25Q128JV. The size is 16777216.

                                        I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
                                        Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

                                        Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes

                                        Alienware Aurora R8/9 Bios .bin file needed

                                        Hello,

                                        I got a new mobo from Aliexpress for my Aurora r9 and everything was working fine until i did a bios update. It did not work and now i get 3x, 7x, 3x, 6x blinking code. Dell says that is a corrupt bios. So i have the ch341 and software required, i just don't have the bios.bin file.

                                        Since the board is from Aliexpress it doesn't have a service tag, I have a copy of the .exe bios and a copy of my corrupted bios attached. Hopefully this is enough, if anyone is able to help me and requires any more information please let me know.

                                        Thanks ...
