          That chip is 32mb. 2mb means your dump failed. Read it again

        Sorry i`m new to this.

        i've tried some of the files in here but the ch341a is giving not responding when i try to program the chip. i have the original bios from dell website but is exe file. is that gonna work if i convert in bin file? thank you
        if nothing works or im doing something wrong and ive destroyed the chip can i buy an preprogram one and solder it back? this will clear the pass right?
        If i have the exact match donor motherboard can use the bios from it? thank you

          Did the chip actually finish programming, or does the CH341A keep showing "not responding"?

          Try a different chip if you have one. As you mentioned, there’s a good chance the IC was damaged during soldering unfortunately

          Upload the backup from that replacement chip, you need to clean ME region otherwise it won't detect SSD, long boot time among other issues
          Make sure you read the chip 2-3 times and compare the readings, should be identical

                            Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop
                            by TopPop
                            Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

                            I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

                            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, πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…...
