                Ahhh, sorry, searched online and it said the bios chip was to the left of the WWAN slot!

                Will take a look later!

                Cheers

                    Ok so Ive pulled the BIOS off the BIOS chip by UC2, see attached.

                    If someone can take a look and unlock it that would be great.

                        hmmm, the BIOS chip is a 25R256JVEN but my CH341A programmer only has 25Q256BV and 25Q256FV as an option when it detects the chip. Could this be the issue?

                            What is the point of creating an unlock file from a corrupted BIOS?
                            And then probably with deleting 000F100 – 000F4FF0 (h): 4000
                            Why not with 00FDAA 00FC00
                            I know on YouTube ********** offers an .exe that does this automatically.
                            I also know that it works on a Dell 5400, but it doesn't work on many newer models.
                            If the user writes this file to his notebook he cannot use it and it will no longer start.
                            Maybe SMDFlea should please take a look at this kind of behavior.

                              Hello I assume you are using the original software from ch431a, but try Neoprogrammer or ASProgrammer, both are better.​

                                Thank you I will give them a go, but I think the chip is corrupt or died. It reads but takes a long time and when I write a bios to it (even the original) it comes with a verify error 😔

                                  Hi. I always stop by when I need some advice, but today I need help with a 7420. Apart from the .bin, what else is needed?
                                  Thanks in advance.

                                          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...

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

                                          Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios

                                          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, 😅😅😅...
