    Lenovo X1 Carbon 4th gen - Need to recover password from BIOS dump

    I'm on a Linux system and after 3-days of research and trying every method that I could find, I'm at the end of my sanity and am calling-out for help to recover the Supervisor password from a BIOS dump.

    A little help anyone?

      Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen Type 20R1 BIOS DUMP
      by mrkmpn
      Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen Type 20R1
      SN: PF1Y5BBJ
      Board: GX490 NM-C661 Rev: 1.0

      I have made two dumps of this bios, with the bios chip removed from the board and the hashes match on both dumps, but I cannot find the DMI information in the dumps except for the Windows product key, so I think it is corrupted. I have downloaded two bios updates from the Lenovo support site, but they contain small .PAT file, and 4 subfolders containing .FL1 and .FL2 files, which I don't understand enough to figure out how to use to fix my dump.

      The problem with the laptop is that...

      Need BIOS Dump/ROM for Lenovo Thinkstation p500
      by AHmad_Salal
      Hello all,
      I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P500 that is stuck at post with no display, it happened after I changed the memory timings in bios. I can not clear CMOS using the jumper on the motherboard, also tried re-flashing bios suing a USB stick but it also doesn't work. The only solution that I can think of right now is re-flashing the bios chip using an external programmer but the problem is that I don't have the bios dump of p500 for flashing externally and I don't know the location of bios chip. If someone can provide the bios dump and bios chip location it would be really helpful....

      Request HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 (J06) BIOS dump to restore system firmware
      by Ahari
      Hi all,

      This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

      I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

      I...

      [REQUEST] 2MB BIOS Dump for Lenovo NM-E471 Rev 2.0 (Winbond 25Q16JWSIQ Chip)
      by hyperwood
      Hi everyone,

      Iā€™m looking for a 2 MB BIOS dump for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16ARH7H / Legion 5 with mainboard NM-E471 Rev. 2.0.

      The BIOS chip is a Winbond W25Q16FW (1.8V, 2MB) and it's completely unresponsive / bricked. I tried recovery via USB but no success. Now I want to reflash it externally using a CH341A programmer.

      I already found 32MB dumps (e.g. from Vinafix and Badcaps), but they are too large for the chip ā€“ and the last 2MB in those files are just FF FF FF....

      āœ… What I need:
      • A working 2MB BIOS dump
      • Matching NM-E471 Rev. 2.0, e.g. JY575
      ...

      ASUS ZenBook UX480F : need help with cleaning the ME region of my BIOS dump
      by mkdj
      Dear all,
      I have a ASUS ZenBook UX480F with the following symptoms:



      I suspect it is a BIOS issue. So I decided to try to clean the ME region. I followed the guide on win-raid, and I believe I have done everything correctly. My problem is: when I open the outimage.bin in ME Analyzer, it says that it is Extracted, and not Region, Extracted as it should be. Is it normal, or did I do something not correctly? This is my first experience editing BIOS files.

      I would appreciate if someone could take time to explain the issue, so that I can learn. But I would...
