    Panasonic CF-19ZF193BM MK8 BIOS

    Can anyone help me remove the password from a Panasonic CF-19ZF193BM MK8 Toughbook. I have already tried clearing the AMITSESetup variable using UEFITools to no avail. I think that this is in part because every time I open my binary with UEFItools it gives me invalid file alignment and invalid checksum errors. I've tried hours of fiddling around with it to get rid of those errors (trying various versions, dependencies, etc) to no avail! I've also tried the decryptor from this[https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=102275] thread, also to no avail. I am unsure of whether or not that is an issue with the way it parses hex, since it's spitting out some interesting characters. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I have included the password protected binary below:

      Power lights come on but the screen doesn't light. The CF-19 I have has no moving parts, so I have no indication of whether or not its reaching post and just not displaying anything or not posting at all. Anything that you could think of?

            It works, thank you!
            Can you walk me through the process, so that I can do this by myself or for others in the future?

              Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
              by AquaMan Ua
              Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

              Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1 BIOS repair
              by aa10aa10
              Good day,

              I have tried to remove BIOS supervisor password from Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 mk1. Model number CF-33AENABTG, unfortunately I don't have any other info.

              I read the BIOS using afuwin, edited it and tried to flash new edited BIOS using afuwin. Unsuccessfully. Afuwin showed "Error: Problem erasing flash." starting with 0x00040000 and stoped. Then I tried many other options to flash BIOS from Windows without any luck. Finally i rebooted the device - and no post. Afterwards I have read the corrupted bios chip (MX25L12873F) using EZP2010 programmer....

              🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
              by macabook
              Hello everyone,

              I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
              🧩 Initial Issue
              • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
              • External display (HDMI) shows
              ...

              [Problem/ Request] Bricked TongFang GK7MRFR BIOS
              by cr4zychriss
              Hello everyone,
              I am requesting urgent assistance to unbrick my laptop, a rebranded TongFang GK7MRFR chassis. The laptop is completely dead following a faulty in-OS EC flash attempt.
              I have successfully used a CH341A programmer and can read/write/verify both flash chips, but using my backups/extractions has failed to restore power. The root cause is likely a corrupted Intel Management Engine (ME) region or an incompatible EC/BIOS pairing. System & Hardware Details

              ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
              by pirati
              Hello everyone,

              I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

              When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

              I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...
