Lenovo Legion T5-28IMB05 Desktop (Lenovo) - Type 90NC Password removal
I know this is more for laptop help, but a Lenovo Legion T5-28IMB05 Desktop (Lenovo) - Type 90NC was dropped in my lap and it appears to have a BIOS supervisor password I cannot remove.
I have tried the clear CMOS and pulled the battery with no luck. I'm hoping its in the BIOS and not the Nuvoton NCT6686D.
If someone can look at the BIOS and see if they can help me remove the password I would greatly appreciate it. Or confirm the password is in the Nuvoton which I guess I wont be able to defeat it.

Just in case someone was wondering ZBook Firefly 14 G8 works with 1070048-1095FFF-25FB8.mps.

Thanks LBTT1121. The BIOS you provided me did not even power up or have any LED faults. However your second message might be a good idea. I'll see if I have any dead Dells around to swap out the TPM.
UPDATE: Just replaced the TPM module from dead 5580 and all is good with the original BIOS image I posted here. Thanks again LBTT1121 for the suggestion to just replace the TPM IC....Leave a comment:

I have a Dell Latitude 5580 that has the TPM error. I've tried to cleanME and add the option that Flea mentioned in POST 77, but when I boot it only gives me flashing orange LED on the front. I put back the original BIOS and attempted to flashback older BIOS's to it but it will only give me up to 1.31 before flash says BIOS unable to flash due to lock (even though its not). Maybe the TPM has failed, but if anyone can help and fix the original BIOS as maybe I'm screwed things up with my cleanME attempt to why it wont POST.

Need help with Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 6
I had a customer bring their laptop in as they attempted to change the boot logo and did not follow the instructions to keep the size to the requirements and went full 4k to which then bricked their BIOS (Powers on but no POST). I attempted to take a BIOS image from an identical model I had and cleaned ME but now that laptop has a system board error when I put the chip back on board. Thanks to Lenovo for gluing the BIOS chip down which made it difficult to remove. I did make sure nothing was knocked while removing the glue and getting the chip off. Now I'm thinking the U89 chip next to it that... -
Hey folks, need help.
I have a Lenovo T15 Gen 2 that wont post, but shows power and fan will spin. Tried to do a cleanME but says corrupted under FIT. Since I'm not the greatest at rebuilding BIOS files from an update BIOS file from Lenovo (still learning), I need help with someone that can.

Flea, you are my hero! Worked perfectly, and had to remember how to lock the manufacture mode again since it's been a long time.

Corrupted BIOS for HP Laptop 17-cn1053cl
Completely frustrated with HP and their so called create a BIOS recovery USB stick from their website. Would be nice if Winflash.exe would run like it should. Looks like I'm not the only one who had this problem. Didn't matter what I did to try and get it to load, even with different versions of BIOS firmware for this laptop.
So I pulled the BIOS and attempted to fix it with ME analyzer and Fit tool but wont allow me to load it as it's too damaged.
So I am here hoping someone can help me out with providing a repaired file as I can't even get the damn BIOS from HP.... -
Good call Flea.

Well this would explain why Hoaca's bios fix did not work (Damn you Dell!!!). I guess the last member lucked out with the fix with a different Dell model.
Thanks for all the help!...Leave a comment:

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I have already verified it does have BT in an identical model which does not have BT greyed out. Works just fine, but any confirmed BT wifi cards I install are greyed out on this unit which leads me to believe it was done at the factory through firmware. I will try Hoacas fixed bios again as maybe it was a fluke. I may post the other units BIOS here to and if Hoaca can help again it would be greatly appreciated, to which I can see if the other unit will give me the same results.
I was hoping to figure out this one after comparing files, but I think...Leave a comment:

Hey Flea,
I realize the build configuration from Dell states no BT. The wifi card that was installed does have BT built in, but I have read on other posts outside of this forum that Dell can grey out this option at the factory and assuming it was put into the default bios firmware. I've even swapped out wifi cards and verified BT is fine. Even the one verified I installed on this laptop, the BT was still greyed out.
There was another forum member whom had the same issue with a different Dell model and I think it was Hoaca who helped him out as well with a fixed bios....Leave a comment:

Thank you Hoaca,
Unfortunately it seems the bluetooth is still greyed out. I tried with CMOS battery out and battery disconnected with only AC power. Reset bios to defaults and no change. I even changed the Wifi card that has bluetooth module built in and still greyed out.
After checking the original and fixed file with Beyond compare, this edit might be over my head as I see many changes. I thought it would be just maybe one bit flip, but seems more complicated. Especially now that I see the fixed bios still hasn't removed the greyed out BT opition. Unless I'm missing...Leave a comment:

Dell 5410 greyed out BT
Well I've learned something new today. Of all the Dell laptops I've come across I have never seen bluetooth greyed out, and only to learn this is during the build from Dell factory. I've tried to pull the original BIOS and fix with another dell with the same issue on the forums, however the original was not recovered from the forum upgrade so I cannot do a comparison to attempt the fix on my own.
If someone could help me out with this unit and I'll try the next one as so far I have 2 on my desk with this issue. Thanks in advance!

Acer A517-58M bios
Hopefully I can jump on this thread and request to clear the SVP on this Acer laptop I have since it doesn't give me the usual code to unlock.

Thanks for the script SMDFlea! 👍
I was about to be one of the ones who have to ask questions after you explained it in the readme.txt. However, I found my fault was I was attempting to use the portable version of tiny hexer. The link you provided on the readme.txt didn't work because of our firewall and had to search for another way of getting the program to which I stumbled upon a portable instead of installer. After fixing the dummy mistake, all is good.
Thanks again!...Leave a comment:

So I had in possession some Lenovo T14s Gen 20WN laptops that had Absolute Persistence enabled and locked. So I used the usual editing of the BIOS to unlock the AP feature.
However, one pooped out on me when it tried to go to Self healing mode in which the other 4 did and had no issues. This one started flashing the LED's on the keyboard and whatnot. Just wont work. I tried flashing the original BIOS back and while it worked to POST, as soon as I loaded Windows, it crapped out again.
So I attempted to clean the ME with the bios to see if it was something there that was...Leave a comment:
