    remove CMOS battery, that's why you weren't able to disable Absolute from bios setup. At 1st boot enter bios setup Security-Absolute (somemtime Computrace) and permanently disable it.

    Thanks Volinakis, I will follow your recommendations. I'm sure it will work like the last one.

    This was where I am puzzled as I looked at the original BIOS file through HxD and what I though was the enable and disable for AbtState, but it already has AA553C instead of AA5533F. I thought this was for another option that was mixed in. Under UEFItools it showed it as it should so this is why I was getting a headache.

    Alright, after examining your screenshot, I gave HxD a shot again. With the search I should have used the "search all" feature which gave me 4 results. One of them had the AA5533F. This was probably one I should have tended to when I attempted to do the fix myself. Like they say, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

    Thanks again!

              [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,...

              Should I buy a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with bios password?
              by RMDUiFT
              Good day. I apologize if I posted this in the wrong topic. I saw somebody selling a Thinkpad E495 with a Ryzen 3500U CPU near me. In the pictures the laptop is running windows 10. I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about upgradability and if it has a bios password on it. He confirmed it has a bios password. I searched through the forum, I found a guide regarding removing the bios password using the autopatcher, I also found a thread with the e495 where people requested help with unlocking the bios password.

              I have a few questions:
              • If I would buy this laptop and have

              Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
              by Wahaz
              Hello,

              I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
              So I thought it was a Bios problem.
              I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

              BIOS Request - Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen3 (AMD)
              by maeson
              Hi dear Badcaps-Community,

              Somehow an auto update, which I triggered before I left my laptop unattended, bricked my BIOS.
              I was able to extract the 2MB BIOS and 16MB BIOS which I will attend. (CH341B black with NeoProgrammer 2.2.0.10)

              The Device is a Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen3 and I was able to identify the following specifications:

              Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen 3 AMD:
              Lenovo Modell: Type 21BB
              Artikelnr.21BB006GGE
              Seriennummer: PW0A6207
              AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 5675U
              Memory 16 GB DDR4-3200MHz
              SSD: 512 GB SSD, M.2 2242, PCIe Gen4, TLC,...
