    HP 850 G3 BIOS dump, view ACPI tables?

    I have a 16MB data dump from a desoldered corporate HP Elitebook 850 G3 main BIOS chip, taken using a CH341a programmer. This dump contains a password I have no access to.

    I have a fresh BIOS chip, loaded with a clean BIOS for the matching product ID and motherboard number.

    I'd like to find and save any SLIC &/or MSDM, ACPI tables contained in the dump from the desoldered chip so that I can if necessary, modify the fresh BIOS chip's contents to preserve the machine's existing Windows 11 installation's licensing/activation etc.

    Searching the dump using just a plain hex editor, I can't locate anything that shows where these tables are stored.

    I did see MSDM and SLIC tables using acpidump on the running machine before desoldering, just, no idea where the info resides inside the chip dump.

    What tools would I be best using for this?

    hello Maybe someone can help me. I have a hp 850 g3 and I made a mistake while reading the bios file. I did not save the scanned file in the trash. And then I deleted it. Now I try many bin files and none of them work. When I turn on the headset spins loudly and the screen is black.
    how can i restore the bios file? Thank you

      Request HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 (J06) BIOS dump to restore system firmware
      by Ahari
      Hi all,

      This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

      I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

      I...

      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:
