    Please help Mid 2014 I7 macbook EMC 2876 bios.

    I have a mid 2014 15 inch i7, 16gb ram macbook EMC 2876 2.2ghz

    It has a corrupted write to the bios chip.

    I was wondering if anyone could help me with a clean bios file

    Kind Regards

                      That's the issue, the previous person had clearly tried to flash the efi, as I could barely pull a 1mb read, if I had original dump it would be a cake walk.

                      So essentially I'm stuck, until I find a working efi with correct me reigon

                      Kind regards

                          hi mate.

                          This gives me fan spin and usb activity but no image or chime.

                          my logic board part no. is 820-3662-A

                          my programmer detects M25P10A 128kb/1MB could this be the problem?

                              Sorry indeed it was a programmer setting, but

                              It loads and chimes but is incredibly slow, stuck halfway on the progress bar.

                              PROGRESS

                              Have done PRAM/NVRAM reset to no avail.

                              Thankyou for your help team

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,...

                                                                                  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....
