    Hello guys,

          This doesn't work with 8FC8, so you have to upload the BIOS chip contents here.​

                  Sorry that's not the BIOS chip search for a chip with 256 on it. WSON8 chip

                      Sorry if you have to ask like that, this type of locking up is not for you.
                      You need a backup of your UC2 32MB WSON8 chip and you have to de solder the chip.
                      Then you need an adapter to properly connect it to your CH341A programmer.
                      You need a decent program for your CH341A NeoProgrammer would be the choice.
                      And yes, I mean the chip on the motherboard, look for UC2, that is your BIOS chip.

                        The minimum should be CH341A + 8x6 adapter, the other two also bring their own software.
                        The RT809H is the most expensive but also worth the money.​

                          thank you for your kindly answer. I have CH321A Programmer and NeoProgrammer but my Hot Gun is defect. I will try to fix it.

                                            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...

                                            Dear Sir,
                                            I need help removing/unlocking the BIOS Service Tag password on my Dell Latitude 5520 laptop.
                                            Problem details:
                                            * Model: Dell Latitude 5520.
                                            * Board ID (from BIOS file): TGL MB 8L 19819-1 (Southpeak15).
                                            * Required Password Code: 3FE2 (BIOS Service Tag Lockout Code).

                                            * BIOS Status: I successfully modded the BIOS file and created FINAL_CLEANED_ME.bin (32MB) with a clean ME region (CSME 15.0), because the original dump was corrupt.

                                            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...

                                            3 amber 3 white blinks. Dell website sais it's problem "bios recovery" and suggested solution "recovery image not found"

                                            I try plugging charger while pressing ctrl+esc, machine turns on, nothing and after 20 seconds it gives 3 amber 3 white blinks again.
