Re: HP EliteBook 845 G7 BIOS Pass
I wanted to remove the password in my hp elitebook 845 g7, but initially when I unsoldered the W25Q256JV chip (bottom), I broke a pin and I couldn't even make a backup... so I bought a new W25Q256JV chip, I programmed it with one of the bin files already modified by some user in this thread, but the laptop doesn't start and "caps lock" blinks 7 times. Any suggestions? Thank you so muchComment

Re: HP EliteBook 845 G7 BIOS Pass
I tried to program both the bios and the EC but now the caps lock flashes 7 times. Unfortunately I had to use these files, as I broke the EC chip "25Q256JVEN", so to match both the bios and the new EC, I thought of programming the files of some other computer the same. What should I do? Thanks
Edit: the weld is perfect and have been programmed correctlyComment

HP EliteBook 845 G7 bios cleared request
hey, i'm looking for clean bios and ec dumps, i tried to flash both with files taken in a thread but the laptop won't start and caps lock blinking 7 times (I guess because they are not clean)
I don't have the original backup up because the original ec i broke it before i even read it..., so i buy another one!
Thank you so much, I'm losing my mind for this laptop!

I noticed that the new EC chip I bought has a different code... W25Q256JVEM, but the original is W25Q256JVEN. Could this be the cause of the laptop blinking 7 times caps lock? ThanksComment

Greetings badcaps community,
I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.
Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.
I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.
These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.
I learned that desoldering...10-29-2024, 06:03 AM -
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
