    BIOS REQUEST HP 430 g3

    Hi guys,
    hope I did this correctly..
    Here is my bin for help in getting a clean one.
    When I connected using a test clip I got manufacturer unknown, unknown memory.
    However it read the chip and im posting the bin here.
    Thnx

      IM thinking this may not have done it correctly.
      Are these test clips usually hard to connect to the chip.?

          remove your chip from the motherboard before reading or writing..do not use the clip, you may have errors ..

                  HI again
                  I have directly soldered wires from the clip cable to the chip.
                  The detect tells me the manufacturer is unknown,also memory name and size.
                  It does show memory type manufacture r id ,memory capacity and device id.
                  Just want to make sure I have not made any wrong connections before I desolder the chip since I now have solid connections straight to the pc.
                  red wire goes to pin 1 etc .No shorts..
                  pls help.
                  When I click verify it tell me chip and its contents are in disagreement.'

                    As Peste mention, you MUST remove eeprom from board in order to autodetect, read, erase, write etc etc and avoid damaging motherboard.

                    Soldering wires is same as using clip

                              Try AsProgrammer software instead,select the ch341a under hardware first, then choose the bios chip manually https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...6&postcount=10
                              Attach the charger to the laptop before making a backup,be careful not to short anything out with the clip.

                                      HI again guys.
                                      here is my file ,hopefully its now correct.
                                      Read with asprogrammer.


                                      Ok im guessing this also not right.
                                      I dont understand what I am doing wrong.
                                      Im sure the chip has been soldered the correct way with the dots matching.
                                      I assume nothing else is meant to be connected (adapters etc)to the programmer apart from the chip itself.
                                      The software sees it..I click read ic' ,progress bar takes a min or so..can someone help pls.

                                          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,...

                                          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....

                                          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

                                          Bios Request HP 17-CN0023DX

                                          Hello,

                                          I am currently working on recovering my HP Laptop (Model: 17-cn0023dx) after a BIOS corruption issue. The laptop is stuck in a no-boot state, and the Caps Lock light is blinking with a 3.2 code (3 long, 2 short), which according to HP documentation indicates a BIOS corruption failure.

                                          I have prepared a USB stick using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool, but I confirmed that it does not include a BIOS recovery image for Crisis Recovery. I also attempted to extract the BIOS file from the spXXXXX BIOS update package provided on the HP Support site, but that update only provides...
