    Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

    Hi there!

    I have a Elitebook 850 G2 that has a bios password. I dumped the bios with a CH341a programmer and tried to remove the password with HPunlocker and RCUnlocker, but the first generates the same image (do not make any changes to the bin file) and the RCUnlocker software says "Missing Unlockable content".

    Can anybody help me? Thanks!

      also look for a bios chip with a content of 16MB... look on both sides of the motherboard and use RCUnlocher...

        Thank you!

        Close to the bios chip I found a 16Mb one that RCUnlocker were able to unlock.

          Hi all!
          Is HP EliteBook 840 G5 better to unlock with HPUnlocker or RCUnlocker?
          I also need to replace the battery.
          What is the best way to unlock or replace the battery first?

                Its the wrong chip as RCUnlocker says. There are 2 chips U365 + U366 .Find the other one and try it again.

                  From another Thread. you need to backup the U366 Chip.

                              ok this is a update. i presume nobody looked at my attachment, but this is what happened.
                              I copied the bios chip to my pc as this:
                              W25Q128JV(OTP)@SOIC8 and i unlocked it with HPUnlocker because RCUnlocker didnt work and programmed it back and it didnt work. so i programmed the original file back.
                              What i had to do is read to bios chip as:
                              W25Q128JV@WSON8 without the (OTP)(i dont know what this is) then the RCUnlocker did work to unlock it and programmed it to the chip, soldered it and now the password is gone

                              so what happened is i chose the wrong chip in the programmer, but it did read and program so i assumed it was correct bu it wasn't

                                            [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,...

                                            Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                                            by Forest79
                                            Hello,

                                            I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                                            The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                                            However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                                            BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
                                            by Sebastian Codrean
                                            Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
                                            The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
                                            So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

                                            HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb

                                            Hello everybody!

                                            To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                                            The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...
