    Can i remove it? Or only bypass and how?
    mdm connected to serial number. I think you'll find a solution how to change serial number in t2 rom.
    good luck

    Replace t2 not a problem. Will the laptop be activated with the original serial number and ssd? after replays ONLY t2 chip?

    Re: T2 Chip Programmer Tool

    Has your spare board got an older, jailbreak capable bridgeOS?
    There's some information in this thread to work out if you have older or newer bridgeOS based on the screenshot of it booting into recovery.

    Hey guys!
    Sorry for my english. I know it's poor cuz I'm from Ukraine))

    Look, I've got AppleID locked MB Pro A2141 and I wonder if I can unlock it.
    As I know Apple blocked jailbreak ability on the last MacOS.
    I've got another A2141 logic board with issues and it has FMM OFF.

    So I wonder if it's possible to replace some IC's from the defective logic board with FMM off to my locked board? Has anybody done this before?
    Should I replace T2 itself + SPI or should I replace WIFI+NANDs additionaly?

    Thanks in advance!

    as far as i know, it won't. apple fixed the security flaw with usb-c controllers.

    Yup. Hardware-only unlock imo.

    Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
    by acedogblast
    This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

    There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

    Lenovo T490 - motherboard serial - windows licence lost - after corrupt bios chip replacement
    by baletak
    Hi,
    had T490 with faulty bios chip. Bought chip out of ebay and soldered on. Laptop starts and works however serial numbers of laptop and motherboard do not match.
    I have updated laptop model number.

    1) I did not find the way to update laptop serial number - I have this one.
    2) I dont know where to get my motherboard serial number and how to update it. Is it somewhere physically on the mainboard? How do I update it?

    Hope to find someone to help me with this as I am hitting dead end at the moment.

    Many thanks

    How to add chip support to NeoProgrammer software for the CH341A Programmer
    by SMDFlea
    Adding chip support is quite easy,there`s even some instructions included with NeoProgrammer,although its not obvious where they are
    and once you do find them there`s a few crucial steps missing.

    Extract chiplist.zip to a folder,the instructions are in Import_EN.txt and in Import.xml .Its the xml file where we add the new chip.



    Open Import.xml with notepad or any other text editor.In this example i`m adding a Macronix MX77L25650F SPI_NOR chip.



    After adding the chip save the xml file and copy it to the root directory of the...

    Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
    by BMCappelletti
    Long story short:
    - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
    - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
    - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
    - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
    (seems like the story was not that short)

    He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...
