    I'm in need of help with this BIOS:
    HP Elitebook 840 g5
    s/n: 5CG8415L14

    Both ec and main bios are in the attachment. Laptop won't boot with this one. I've flashed the bios of a working 840 g5 and it works, but I'm obviously greeted with the infamous endpoint message. Could somebody fix my bios or post here a bios set with clean me and cleared VSS2 store? According to earlier posts the region for the VVS2 store is the same as with the 840 g6 but unfortunately it isn't.
    Thanks in advance!
    You`re right about it being different. The offsets are 1AF6048-1B1BFFF

            Hi Guys,

            The laptop I have is stuck on a boot loop of death with the bios trying to update itself.

            I have tried all the bios that have been posted so far but none seem to work for me.

            Does anyone has the original bios file? I've attached what I could read from the chip. From what I gather it's a 16mb version.

            Elitebook 840 G5,

                Have I been reading/reprogramming the wrong chip all this time? I thought this Winbond chip was my Bios chip... Would it actually be the MxIC instead?

                          Clean the ME firmware, that should fix it.

                                            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.

                                            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...

                                            [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                            by zenius
                                            Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                            Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...
