    Requesting HP ZBook 15u G3 6050A2892401-MB-A01 EC and Bios

    I have a HP ZBook 15u G3 board number 6050A2892401-MB-A01 that will not turn ON. I was able to read the main bios but the EC bios chip is completely unreadable.
    Does anyone have a matching file? Thank you

                  I have made some mistakes. I got the laptop for free and there was a password in the bios. So I tried my luck. I bought a CH341A and don't ask how. But I accidentally read the IC chip W25Q128JVIQ and made a backup of it and tried to unlock it. Then I realized that the password is not saved on it. I also have a backup of that.

                  I SOMEHOW damaged the other bios chip. It can't be read or written.
                  I then bought the same defective laptop for $20.
                  But I realized that the motherboard is not the same. I also got confused with the chip. I don't remember if it's a W25Q128JVPQ or a W25Q128FVPQ.

                  My guess is a W25Q128JVPQ.
                  Now I have soldered the W25Q64JVIQ back on. And loaded the bios from the other defective laptop onto the W25Q128JVPQ and also soldered it on. Now I have the problem that the laptop doesn't start anymore. CAPS Lock is on.
                  If I remove the battery, the laptop turns on, has a black screen, and the fan spins.

                  Laptop: zBook 15u G3
                  Mainboard: 839235-601
                  Bios Chip: W25Q128JVPQ
                  If someone has the same laptop. Is the Bios chip correct?​

                              If its an intel board not without cleaning the ME firmware first, and your DMI info will be messed up and you`ll have to enter it all again using HP`s shitty DMI tools (unless it does a bios recovery and restores it itself). Try the bios posted by hoaca388

                            Is it difficult or complicated to edit the DMI information? I am relatively familiar with software and everything. I can quickly familiarize myself with everything.

                            I also have an Intel. I'll try the BIOS above later. Thank you very much​

                              The HP DMI tools are relatively easy to use once you get used to using them but if its the first time then it can be a real headache.

                            Do I need another program besides DMI Tools from HP?

                                Hello everyone,
                                I need help with my Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. Its original GeForce 8600M GT graphics card failed, so I replaced it with an Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT MXM card.

                                **Problem:** The laptop powers on, but there is no display (black screen) on either the internal LCD or external monitor. This indicates a BIOS compatibility issue with the new graphics card.

                                **What I have tried so far:**
                                1. I have my **original stock BIOS dump (1MB .BIN file)** from my laptop, which works and allows the laptop to power on normally (but no display with 9600M...

                                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

                                Hi

                                i have dell latitude E7270 with following symptoms:
                                - takes long time to restart.
                                - sometimes powers on and then off
                                - sometimes while working it just dies,

                                From googling online bios clean could possible resolve this?

                                i was able to save bios and was going to try bios clean myself but get an below error when i drop it in ME analyzer.(unsure whether this sometimes occurs or could be due to bad/corrupt bios)

                                As ME analyzer gave me an error i just decided to write bios with a cleaned bios from E7270 bios post.
                                I reinstall...

                                hey guys,

                                i have been working on for days a Hp Zbook Firefly 14 G8 - mobo: corvette-605qa321330-mb-a01.

                                Doesn't Boot - only thing working is an LED flashing orange on/off, that's it

                                - have tried cleaning the Main bios (ME region) which seems to have gone smoothly enough, and have re-soldered it back onto the board, but then I spotted an almost identical Bios chip near the EC on other side, but I don't know what is needed to be done with that bios ?


                                - i have attached my original Main and EC bios's (they are both 32mb! chips)
                                - i have...
