Re: HP BIOS unlock tool

I have an Elitebook 840 G2 with a bios password, there seem to be two flash chips near the BIOS battery, the Winbond one I can read, it has a 2mbyte bios and putting it through the unlock tool results in a file with an identical MD5 sum.

The other is a Macronix 16mbyte chip and I just can't get a good read from it (no two md5 sums match). Is there anything else I can do or does it need to be desoldered? (in which case I will likely just bin it)
