          Dear Blaze Tech and others

          I broke my W25Q256JV bios (phisically) from HP EliteBook 840 G5 6050a2945601-mb-a01
          May I ask for BIOS for serial number 5CG013DSCM ProdID 2FA66AV please?

          I tried adjust bios bymyself to change Serial Number with HEX but still I have issue CPU fan spins at maximum speed.

            hello everyone, mistakenly i have read the main bios instead EC chip. now my laptop is working but keyboard is not working properly i think because of the main bios corruption. can someone send me the original main bios file for W25Q256JVEQ chip? in this model EC chip is located under the motherboard which is 128MB chip. in 256MB does not include security things like bios passwords and all. bios password i removed successfully from the 128MB chip by searching active on hxd file but after that also keyboard is not working properly and when i use with bios password it worked very well.i tried to reprogram with the backup that i mistakenly read for 256MB but the issue still appears. maybe i have not read it properly. unfortunately here i can not upload the attachments it says i am not allowed to attach bin file extensions. S/N 5CG922701G PROD ID 2FA66AV. i connected external usb keyboard also but issue persisits. please help me with it. thanks

              post merged...next time look for a thread with the name and model, motherboard model of the laptop, and post there, if you can't find it, then make a new thread..

            post the contents of the bios chip even if it is corrupted..archive with winrar or 7zip and post..
            post full name and model, motherboard model,

                  What I should do to let it run? Will you be able to prepare package for me to let it work?
                  Is it requires to flash also second 16MB bios as well?

                  Thank you​

                                  For those who need a clean BIOS (no passwords, factory defaults, without DMI) for the HP EliteBook 840 G5 (6050A2945601-MB-A01):

                                  Since nobody here could help me, I turned to Wrong Chip on YouTube (link below). Here's my experience for others facing similar issues:
                                  1. These BIOS files work—I successfully flashed both by CH341A (modded from 5V for 3.3V!) by Neoprogrammer on Windows:
                                    • 32MB chip (W25Q256JVEIQ)
                                    • 16MB chip (W25Q128JVPQ)
                                  2. My W25Q256JVEIQ BIOS was corrupted (physical damagel). You can use my files, but they do NOT include DMI data (you have mine attached for serial 5CG013DSCM​)
                                  3. DMI Solution: Wrong Chip provided my DMI data, which I injected using the method shown in this video:
                                  4. Boot Failure? Another reason my laptop wouldn't turn on was accidentally removing the 22-ohm resistor. If your motherboard is unresponsive, double-check all resistors!

                                    For those who need a clean BIOS (no passwords, factory defaults, without DMI) for the HP EliteBook 840 G5 (6050A2945601-MB-A01):

                                    Since nobody here could help me, I turned to Wrong Chip on YouTube (link below). Here's my experience for others facing similar issues:
                                    1. These BIOS files work—I successfully flashed both by CH341A (modded from 5V for 3.3V!) by Neoprogrammer on Windows:
                                      • 32MB chip (W25Q256JVEIQ)
                                      • 16MB chip (W25Q128JVPQ)
                                    2. My W25Q256JVEIQ BIOS was corrupted (physical damagel). You can use my files, but they do NOT include DMI data (you have mine attached for serial 5CG013DSCM)
                                    3. DMI Solution: Wrong Chip provided my DMI data, which I injected using the method shown in this video:
                                    4. Boot Failure? Another reason my laptop wouldn't turn on was accidentally removing the 22-ohm resistor. If your motherboard is unresponsive, double-check all resistors!

                                    Reupload 2x missed packages to flash as new BIOS

                                    My DMI if you don't have yours you can try as above YouTube movie after start

                                        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.

                                        🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
                                        by macabook
                                        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
                                        ...

                                        Elitebook 850 G5 BIOS bricked

                                        Hello,

                                        I have an EliteBook 850 G5. After a Windows update, including a BIOS update, the notebook turns on, but the screen remains black, and the fans spin at high speed—nothing else happens.

                                        I assume the BIOS update failed, so I searched for the BIOS chip.

                                        I found a Winbond chip located between the RAM and the hard drive, which has a size of 32 MB.

                                        However, the BIOS update available on HP's website is only 17 MB in size. I used the update version that was previously installed when the notebook was still working.

                                        Can the corrupted...

                                        ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                                        by jbonavita
                                        Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                                        With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                                        With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                                        Some issues
                                        A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                                        B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                                        Things I tried

                                        1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...
