            Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

            For those wishing to try desoldering / soldering their flash chips, here is some research I did into the sort of soldering temperatures these chips are ok with.

            Code:
            Key temps and times for e.g. Winbond 128 SPI:
            85°C - max operating temp of SPI chip
            150°C - max storage temp of SPI chip
            ???  - SPI chip max soldering temp "compliant with JEDEC Standard J-STD-20C"
            138°C - Melting point of 42/58 tin/bismuth solder eg 'Mechanic V4B45'
            183°C - Melting point of 63/37 lead/tin solder
            190°C - Melting point of 60/40 standard lead/tin solder
            225°C - JEDEC Standard J-STD-20C lowest peak reflow temperature
            230°C - Melting point of standard lead-free solder
            260°C - JEDEC highest peak reflow temperature
            Max soldering time at max temp, 30-40s
            I was going to try the 42/58 tin/bismuth solder myself, for a wide safety margin.

                Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

                Excellent info thanks.

                I had wondered what would happen if one left a bit of chip quik on the pads - but sounds like that pitfall can easy happen with using the bismuth solder too.

                Noticed when practicing, the hot air needs to blow much hotter than the listed melting points. Especially when there's big areas of copper track / nearby heat sinkery. I was only just managing to cleanly desolder WSON8 6X5's off scrap boards at around 320 deg measured by a thermocouple touching the chip, sometimes even higher.

                On the bright side despite the high temp, I've had SPI chips that have got that hot & still seem to respond ok on a ch341a.

                    Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

                    Just forget the temperatures. I applied reverse voltage onto one wson8 winbond chip for 15 minutes. It actually melted a hole on top of that package so chip die was visible. After that it worked fine, I got all data from it, written to another chip and no errors.

                    Hot air station set to 420C mostly. Not saying its the correct temperature. Cheap stations tend to show semi-random numbers anyway

                                Hello,

                                attempted to reset BIOS admin password for HP Probook 650 G2, and HPUnlocker tool was successfully executed, but after bin file created by HPUnlocker was written into BIOS chip, BIOS admin password is still there. BIOS SW level is N76 (latest).

                                Could SomeOne help to reset admin password? Please find original dumped BIOS bin with admin password, without any attempts with HPUnlocker.

                                Thanks in advance

                                    I suspected, that it should be different addresses to be cleared, then the ones cleared by HPUnlocker tool (most likely HPUnlocker is not prepared /yet/ to handle this BIOS SW level).

                                    Thanks again!

                                      in other words, it is different from the standard ones for which the Unlocker is intended for, which's why the tool fails to do its job.

                                            [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...
