Hi!

Recently started looking to gain a deeper understanding of hardware and computer functioning.
Came across here after messing my BIOS up and looking to solve it

[capped1509]

Hey there. I'm not an "electronics guy", but I'm here trying to find out how to use my BIOS dump and a Dell BIOS update to create a firmware image that I can trust is clean. I already used a CH341A Mini Programmer hardware and AsProgrammer software to read and back up my old 16 MB firmware image. I've also used UEFITool, by platomav at GitHub, to extract the files from the Dell BIOS update .exe file. My next step is to find out if my Flash Descriptor region is clean, and to transfer any legitimate machine-specific data from specific regions of my old firmware to the equivalent regions extracted from the update .exe. Then, I need to concatenate all the clean regions into a full, clean 16 MB firmware image to flash my SPI chip with. I still need to replace my 5V CH341A Mini Programmer with a newer one that has a voltage switch for the 3.3V setting I need to safely read and flash my chip again. So that's where I'm at, and what my plan is.

Hello, I'm dropping by for my future BIOS endeavors!
I occasionally purchase some older business-line laptops and it turns out tons of listings you see on ebay/yahooJP end up having BIOS passwords despite no mention of them in the description. I don't want to say that I'm only coming here to request BIOS modifications though as I'm quite interested in learning the art myself as I come from a low-level programming background (8086 anyone?).

Looking forward to my future here on the forum! 👍
