    820-00165-a 2015 - no serial

    Hello guys

    Got this original dump from a 820-00165-A 2015 with no serial
    Everything seems to work fine, except theres no SN

    I tried to look for the "ssn" string but in this dump only one result and its not the Serial string

    It has Big Sur on the SSD, so I suppose something changed on this firmware version
    Anyone knows where to insert the serial?

    SN:CPWS37FDH3QD

    Heres the dump, in case someone has some minutes to help
    Thanks!

      thanks but even without trying it, I can check that the file checksum is invalid

      will try to fix it tomorrow and test the file anyways

      Nobody knows where the ssn string is in the original file?

          Your entire Fsys block is missing/corrupt. Try this one, it's from a 2015 dump with clean ME, SSN updated and checksum corrected. I don't recall what FW revision it is though, so you may need to run the Big Sur installer through to update it.

            Thinkpad L390 Yoga (type 20NT serial R90VZWLN) BIOS2 dump needed
            by erkko13
            Ho ho ho, badcaps people,

            if this qualifies as bios request, hopefully. Actually BIOS2 for that laptop is second smaller SPI flash (Winbond W25Q80DVSNIG-GP-U), containing supposedly some config for TPS65988 which in turn manages USB-C stuff, including PD. This is possibly flash, where update "Power Delivery Firmware (TI TPS65988)" F407.06.29 -- https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/r10pd10w.exe does its thing. Previous owner claims that after clean install of Windows 10 he installed thinkvantage tool of sort, which updated everything for that laptop. I did glance over...

            Need BIOS/EFI dump for MacBook Air A1466 2015 EMC 2925 (8gb)
            by yura8
            Hi there! I have not so usual situation...

            I have 2015 MacBook Air A1466 EMC 2925 with 8Gb of RAM. It seams that I've killed it by bad SSD adapter. It starts, cooler works... But no chime, screen is black. SMC reset seams works, NVRAM reset doesnt works...

            My repair guy has checked all possible. It's all ok with power. The last idea - I could kill EFI firmware... So, I need a firmware of EFI to check it. I have a programmer. But I don't have a similar laptop now to download it and compare

            P.S. If you have else any ideas about repair, or you had a similar...

            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...

            I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
            by Habble7
            The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

            Suspected Cause:
            I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

            Troubleshooting Attempts:
