Re: HP EliteBook 845 G7 BIOS Pass
Took me almost a year, but alas I did as instructed.
The pc said someting about doing a bios backup and then it says HP Endpoint Security Controller Problem (Pic 1 in attachment)
I can press enter okay and then I'm back at the familiar despised Power-On Authentication
(Pic 2 in attachment)
I spent more time repairing this notebook than using it...
So what next?...Leave a comment:

I think it doesn't really matter which actual chip it is. But so far I have been unable to fix it. I tried multiple times to flash it with different flashes and some ppl were tinkering with the source code to fix it. But no luck. It's a bit frustrating, and you have to solder, desolder the chips plug all the cables back so on.
After looking through the code I found some account details on the U367(top) chip ie. my name that shows on the lock screen in the actual code. So I suppose the U367(top) chip is more...Leave a comment:

The other chip is on the other (bottom) side of the board - directly under the Winbond (in your case... for some reason I had the Winbond on the bottom...).
So you have to disconnect all the wires and remove the screws. Also I didn't unscrew the cpu fan so I don't have to mess with thermal paste.Leave a comment:

Akintunde: I have sucessfully used Revelprog IS very neat, works well and easy to use. (no affiliation)
And as I cannot post a new thread yet. I will hijack (and resurrect) this thread instead.
To my question now:
I have aswell an HP 845 G7 with a power-on password, which I have accidentally set, both password and fingerprints don't work to my disappointment. HP Support suggested to replace the main board (which is about 80-90% of the price of the device, great help...) I have set also some recovery...Leave a comment:
