    Thanks for the fast reply hoaca388. So that means that I have to pull the whole MOBO, unsolder the correct chip and then flash it. then resolder it back on.... sheesh... ur asking alot from a 58 year old with shaky hands... so i would need a heat gun(specifically for doing this)???

    I do notice you usually send a ".bin" file back? do I run that or?? cuz it wont let me update the bios? sorry, I am an IT guy 25+ years but this has been a bit disturbing for me as usually i can "defeat" this stuff. Thanks!! and cudo's for this website/blog/forum

    You should only run your own .bin file.

    You need a programmer, there are many brands, but the cheapest is CH341A (cheapest but not the best).

    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..

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

    I connected the second identical card from another laptop but the problem is the same.

    Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
    by Akhlz001
    Hi,

    Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...

    Dell Latitude 7420 BIOS Unlock Gone Wrong
    by Jeff'sTech
    Hello everyone.

    I have come here with a rather specific question. I was given a Dell Latitude 7420 laptop with a busted screen, and wanted to see if I could refurbish it into my daily driver. I wanted to experiment and see if a 2-in-1 display would work as the chassis of the laptop and 2-in-1 7420 looked identical. I threw in the display and my hypothesis was correct, however, I was greeted with a locked BIOS and since I didn't know the password, I figured I'd try to unlock it somehow. I bought one of those POGO pin probe things for my CH341A programmer so I could read and make...

    Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
    by jhanra
    Hi there masters, recently i got a dell 5400 chromebook and wanted to install windows, i searched the internet and i found out other people also wanting a UEFI bios for this model, i searched there is a R/W legacy, but there are bugs like keyboard/trackpad not working, and hard to install.

    so i decided to try to port one, this bios is based on dell 5400 windows version, i am testing this bios for a week now an found only a little to no bug at all in windows 10, or only a minor issue
    in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, 😅😅😅...
