            Yes, then everything is fine. That's the unlocking process. You'll have to be more patient. The Dell laptop can restart up to four times, and you'll then have to re-enter your service tag.

                    I replaced the BIOS chip and flashed it with the file you provided. The laptop powers on and I can see the display backlight, but there’s no logo or image. The indicator lights flash 3 red and 5 white repeatedly.




                    When I reflash the original BIOS file, the screen only shows a white–blue–red–green color pattern.
                    i think my original file got corrupted .can you please help me on this. As i changed 4 new chip all same

                                post the original contents of the bios chip..not the update on the website..
                                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

                                          Hello everyone.

                                          I have come here with a rather specific question.

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...

                                          * Model: Dell Latitude 5520.

                                          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.

                                          3 amber 3 white blinks. Dell website sais it's problem "bios recovery" and suggested solution "recovery image not found"
                                          (from here https://www.dell.com/support/manuals...e7a&lang=en-us)

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