Dell Latitude 5520 Bios Password unlock

[Thoa]

here is file unlocked

Thx b4rdock for your reply. But you did not read I can't see! ... my 5520 does not even power on and my bios had no passwort set. But when i compare the size of my bios-file with others in here, i think much data has been deleted by the pending firmware-update and powerloss.

I have an Dell Latitude 5520
Service-Tag: 5176QG3
Mainboard: Southpeak 15

I do not know where i can get more specific infos on motherboard.

Now I ve read it again and the size of the file is just like the avarage.

And once more and the files are equal! Now my question: is anybody in here who can tell me if it is corrut or not?

OK... Thank you. Worked. At least to get the input of the chip. I used a pogo-pin-tool to bypath soldering. Reading was successful, verifying not. But its a contact problem, because the abortion was at different positions. Also i got an Error immediately when i tryed again. Maybe you can see a coruption of the bios-file or a clean file. I am going to find a way to verify tomorrow successfully and a way to hold contact to write to the chip.

Thanks for the support SMDFlea and the hole community. CU tomorrow

Use NeoProgrammer software and choose W25Q256FV - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...49#post3171449

Its a XMC 25RH256CXIQ PPF83600 01 2128U Chip. I tryed to use the CH341A Programmer-Software ... but there is only 1 Chip in the Chip-List with 32MB and didnt work as well to get a 32MB-File after safeing the file. I can read and get data, and i can verify successfully. So i think the Chip is working fine.

The Problem, i think sits in front of the pc

I am now able to read the chip. But when i try to save the bios, the file has just 4mb or less... depends on the chip-setting. i tryed to read the biggest winbond chip-setting but i cannot find 32MB. The Output-File should be 32MB, shouldn´t it?

And the CH341H cannot detect the Chip... I think its broken

The Auto-detect setting on the CH341A has always been poor. With the original software if the chip is not in the support list it can default to a 1MB chip or something else, not good.. .Which software are you using, what is the chip part number

[Thoa]

The bios chip must be unsoldered from the board before writing or reading..
do not use the clip, you may have errors..if you do not have anything to unsolder it with,
solder wires between the programmer and the bios chip..

here is a video for example..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWWi...nnel=ThisIsHow

I followed the Dell website guide to get the service tag. Says it should be labeled EX on the sticker. Here's all the codes from the sticker but I think it's actually the ST one. Could have sworn I saw the bios say 6P13SL3 code followed by 8FC8 or similar.

MFG YR:2022
ST:6P13SL3
EX:14574205047

try more....

Good day
I'm back again haha

So, after a long time without touching the machine is just suddenly decided to work.
The bios file TGL_MF works perfectly and also the one provided by LAPFIX post 648 is also working, I think the advice from hoaca388 worked.

THANK YOU ALL .

Now I have a little favor to ask. Please change service tag to 4X742B3 or help me with clean bios file.
