Hi,

I am working on a Surface Laptop GO 3, which is the new release 2024 with a i5-1230U processor. Originally, it had a 256GB SSD, then the owner attempted to upgrade it to 1TB SSD by himself. "Surprisingly", it did not boot afterwards, then changed back to the original SSD, did not boot either.

It turned out to be that just a couple of components had been knocked off when the owner was trying to get off the SSD cover with his beloved screw driver.

I do not have another board of same model. Although I have a Laptop Go 2, the layout of that bit...

Hello,

I got a Dynabook Tecra A40-K laptop which had two faulty intersil 9542H chips which were the USB-C PD controller. The laptop is working now okay after the two chips were replaced. However, there is a supervisor password set in the BIOS, which I do not know. I do not know any way to remove it other than copying the main BIOS from one without password.

Thanks in advance if anyone could post a dump, or tell me how to remove the supervisor password from the BIOS.

Many many thanks....

Hi,

I got a Dell inspiron 3515, but it has a password. Could you help me to remove it. It appears to be the password is stored in the EC.

Board Number : GDM54 lA-l245P
Service Tag : 2G9XPH3
Ex Servicenumber: 5337712695

Many thanks in advance.​...

Please see my BIOS dump....

I have an inspiron 15 3000, model 3515, I could not find the string to decode the password. I will be very grateful if anyone can help to generate a master password for me:

Board Number : GDM54 LA-L245P
Service Tag : 2G9XPH3
Ex Servicenumber: 5337712695

Many thanks in advance

I have tried this by just adding my windows key onto it. However, it still asks me for the current password. Read the BIOS file up, for some reason it has been populated with manythings including the service tag. Is the password stored in EC?

I am not a professional, I do not know how to program EC.

I will be very grateful if anyone can help to generate a master password for me:

Board Number : GDM54 lA-l245P

Many thanks in advance.​...

Re: Need a reference for a chip on Asus ChromeBook C423N

I have almost exactly the same issue. My C423N sometimes it could turn on, sometimes it did not. After several times, it refused to power up completely.

When plug in power supply, this chip is burning hot. Measured the resistance over the capacitor on pin11, it was only 1.1ohm. Blew off the capacitor, the resistance was still 1.1ohm. The chip was still burning hot when plugged. Blew off the chip, guess what, the resistance was still 1.1ohm on that point.

Do not know where this pin goes, it may...
