Have a PS5 with a cracked MLCC capacitor, motherboard model EDM-033. Anyone happen to know what the value of the capacitor marked with the red arrow is?...

Got the bios updated to the latest version (had v1.33, now is at v1.38). USB now works, service tag etc (i.e. DMI data) is correct. Oddly, it hangs with a black screen if a main battery is connected (tried two different batteries). Boots fine without a battery connected, then, while running, can connected battery and battery shows charging (in BIOS). But if it is shut-off or ctrl-alt-del reboot it hangs at a black screen if the battery is left connected. I'm at a loss on this problem. Maybe some sort of SMBUS corruption or some odd problem in bios?!? If anyone has any ideas, it would be...

That got the display working again, service tag is correct. USB is not working though, but I ran out of time to reset/update the bios. Honestly not sure if the BIOS problem is hardware or BIOS. If resetting doesn't fix it, I'll put the test copy suggested by LBTT1121 on it and test the USB. May not have an update until mid-day - got a number of things that need my attention tomorrow. Will update as soon as I know more.

Thank you for the suggestion, that BIOS fixed the black screen issue! (so that confirms the bios was corrupted on the machine). Now I just hope someone would incorporate the machine's original service tag, mac address, etc into a working bios to get the machine back to original.

My apologies. The service tage is G6DJJR2. Additionally, I see I didn't post the revision of the board, it is LA-F411P Rev 2.0.

Hello. I have a Dell Latitude 5590 with board LA-F411P. It powers on, keyboard backlight comes on, but no video. Attempted to recover bios using the BIOS_IMG.RCV file from Dell using the Ctrl-Esc keys, but get blink code "3 amber - 3 white" which is "recovery image not found". I've attempted the bios recovery with all USB ports and using 4 different USB drives formatted as FAT and FAT32. Unable to get any video. There are no blink codes when simply attempting to boot normally, just keyboard backlight and black screen.

Attached is a copy of the BIOS from chip...

Thank you! I appreciate the time you took to help with this. The laptop symptoms are the same however, so this apparently rules out corrupted bios update. (For reference, the symptoms are: When plugged in, the power light comes on white. Then, pressing the power button causes the light to add an amber tint to it but no signs of life from the laptop.)

Requesting help making a clean un-corrupted bios.
I have a Dell Latitude 5500 with motherboard EDC50 LAG902P Rev 1.0.
It's suspected that a BIOS update was interrupted.

Attached are dumps of the two BIOS chips (Gigadevice GD25Q80 and GD25B256D). Also attached is the most recent BIOS from Dell in exe format and the most recent BIOS recovery file in rcv format from Dell.
Hoping someone can make a functional BIOS from the machine-specific data in the dumps and the functional BIOS from Dell....

Thank you! That worked

For anyone that comes along at a later date and has problems reading the WSON (TDFN) eeprom chip, there is a large central ground pad on the bottom of the chip. At least on some programming adapters, this ground pad can contact the outer data/power pads. See attached pic's. (Note: I've put kapton tape over the central pad in this case to prevent unwanted connections). (please excuse the flux mess - should have taken pics after cleanup). Hope this helps someone....

I have a Dell Latitude 5500 with a BIOS password. Service tag is 6NV40R2. The motherboard is an LA-G901P Rev 1.0. Attached are the contents of the two EEProm chips on the board (25Q256JVEQ and 25Q80CSIG) read using an xgecu T56 programmer. Can someone remove the password or provide instruction to remove it?

(edit: added pic of eeprom locations for those that come across this in the future)...

"It's ALIVE!!!" [in my best Dr Frankenstein voice impression]. In all seriousness, I sincerely appreciate your help and pointing me to the right spot. It now works as it should. Thank you!!

Trying to remove a power-on password on a Lenovo Ideapad S340-15IWL, serial number MP1LXEN3. I tried the method in section 3.7.3 of [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=103526"]BIOS guides, methods, resources and tools[/URL]​. Specifically, I read the bios (actually, read it twice (removing and reinserting the chip from the programmer between 1st and 2nd read) and verified SHA-256 checksums to verify good read), cleared the chip, then programmed the bios that I had read back to the chip (I then re-read the chip and verified the sha-256 checksum to verify it programmed...

Thank you! That one also worked without any problems. I am sincerely grateful for your time and help!

(To anyone who happens upon this in the future, this is an example of the importance of donating to keep this site alive. This thread is an example of two laptops saved, and there have been many others where I simply found the info I needed without having to post. Without this site, many machines would not have been fixed or not have been fixed so easily.)

Re-upload of new dump....

Will get another dump tomorrow (and this time check the compressed size before i upload)

THANK YOU! That worked, power-on password gone! As I mentioned in the first post, I have two of these laptops. The second is the same model, with the serial number: M7N0CV08765227C. I don't mind doing the work if you can give me some guidance on the process to use. If you'd rather do it and post back the bios that is fine as well. Attached is the BIOS dump from the 2nd laptop....

Original BIOS re-uploaded. Asus Vivobook X712J serial number MG7N0CV08765227C....

Thank you for the reply. I will be able to in about 8 hours. (the serial number is MG7N0CV08765227C, the zipped bin file was originally attached but has dis-appeared from the posting)

I am attempting to remove a power-on password on an Asus Vivobook X712J, sn MG7N0CV08765227C.

The motherboard is X512A R.20 (on the silkscreen), and 13NB0KS0AM0101, 13N1-78A0101 (on sticker).
The EEPROM chip is 25B127DSIG by GigaDevice.

Attached is the BIOS dump as received. I have tried the info posted at [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=103526"]BIOS guides, methods, resources and tools[/URL] but when XORing the key found with the decryption key (posted by SMDFlea here:
