          Hi

          I have an 850 G8 to remove bios password

          I have identified the two chips, but not sure which is Main or EC for the point of identifying them after reading to submit for unlocking, it looks like i need to read both

          The chip on the back of the board is a winbond 25q128jvpq
          The chip on the front of the board (next to the SSD drive) is a winbond 25q256jveq

          Many thanks

            Find the right thread and post there, this thread is for "840" not '850".
            Start with this one "25q128jvpq" because it's the EC Chip.

              When you google this for this forum, it says 850, suggesting that the threads have been merged maybe? I cant find one specifically for 850 on my initial look

                  It doesn't matter what Google says, it's what the rules say, and it's your responsibility to read and follow them strictly! Such a topic exists and you are obliged to find it and make your request in it.
                  If we assume that there was no such topic, you should open a new one, and not write in this one.
                  The rules are clear!

                    Re: Extract bios password from EliteBook 840 G8 Bios dump, possible?

                    Hello everyone, a bit new to Bios flashing but asking for help/ advice.

                    Currently, I'm trying to fix a bricked Elitebook 840 G8, but the original bios files in both the main and EC chips are in a different computer which I can't get access to.

                    Meaning that the 2 chips I have ( 2X Winbond 25q256jv, but I also have a spare Winbond and a MX25L25635E) are all cleared/erased.

                    That said, I was wondering if it would be possible to use one of the Bin files posted on this thread, and if not, why? (just curious).

                    Much appreciated!


                    P.S Sorry in advance if this question has already been raised.

                            Hello! I have an HP 840 G8 with no wifi. Was previously bios locked and someone unlocked it (don't know how). After this, there is no wifi and plugging a new compatible adapter makes no change (still not detected). Question is, has anyone seen this before and could it be repaired through a chip reprogramming or something? Thanks in advance and apologies if not posted in the right place!

                              try this, let me know how it gose please
                              be patient as first time boot will take longer than usuall, be ready to hit F10 or Esc, better to remove any bootable media

                              clear all settings and all security, check Absolute Activation Status in security Tab under Utilities

                              install fresh OS

                              good luck

                                    Yes, I need to know the BIOS administrator password
                                    I'm new to this, I've read the FAQ.
                                    I understand that I have to unsolder them and read to extract the . bin
                                    it's right?

                                            Bios password removal on a Unowhy dump

                                            Hi Everyone,

                                            I'm facing a problem with a locked bios with a password and i can't find how to remove it...

                                            The small computer is only booting on a M2 ssd Windows partition and i get a "signed partition error" if i try to boot on the same SSD with another Os (linux for example).

                                            the Computer is a Unowhy small pc

                                            After failling trying to boot on other "none Windows" partition, i wanted to try to remove the bios password.

                                            My first attempt was to get the bios dump from windows...

                                            TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" Bios Password Problem?
                                            by traxformania
                                            Hello,

                                            I'm using TONGFANG "GM7TG7P" model laptop for over 3 years and i'm entering the same bios administrator password everyday. My laptop has Aptio BIOS (American Megatrends, AMI).

                                            But today it's not accepting my password. I'm %100 sure i'm entering the correct password.

                                            I'm trying to reset my bios without success.

                                            I tried :

                                            -I removed the BIOS battery and main battery. Waited for a long time but it didn't work. They already stated in the user manual that the password will not be reset even if the batteries...

                                            Hello everyone, I come here to tell you my problem regarding the power-on password. It is not a bios reset demand, and i can't have any access to windows. This is the bios and power-on password that is blocking all other things.

                                            My Omen 15-dh0052nf purchased second-hand was configured with the bios password upon purchase (very simple password :P ).

                                            Having decided to sell it in order to get something more powerful, I reset all BIOS settings and set a blank administrator password. But the power-on password cannot be changed to a blank one so I let the actual password set....

                                            I removed the BIOS password thanks to the help of one of the friends of this forum.

                                            The batch from which the password was removed works correctly but... after some time, the BIOS password is set again, I reprogrammed the batch with the removed password, it's ok, there is no password, I set my password, ok, I can enter the BIOS with my password but...

                                            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:
                                            ...
