Re: HP EliteBook 745 G5 password



Well, regarding the password, I'm not exactly sure what happened. I couldn't read the content of the 2nd chip (ISSY) yet. But first things first, here is what I did.

I did get the CH341A programmer finally and did a 3,3v fix I've found on YouTube. I've made myself some kind of pogo pin contraption so I wouldn't have to solder any wires to the board, but the USB programmer always got disconnected from Windows when making contact. It was like unplugging an USB drive with that typical sound it does. If connected to the...

Thanks for the heads up regarding the 5v issue with this programmer. I'll have to keep that in mind. Was the U366 chip you have encountered the same one from ISSI or another one? Cause there's not much information on the internet regarding that IC25LP128 chip. Well, there is one that it doesn't work: [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=114626[/url]

However, if I'm not mistaken you can add a chip manually to the chiplist.xml, right?Re: HP EliteBook 745 G5 password<br ...<br /> Thanks...

Re: HP EliteBook 745 G5 password

Thanks for your quick reply, both of you. So I'll get a CH341A programmer then. The other WINBOND 25Q16JVSIQ is not relevant in this process? If so, then there is no need for a test clip. For the other two chips WINBOND 25Q128JVPQ and ISSI IC25LP128 soldering tiny wires to the pads nearby would do the trick? So I don’t have to order a hot air station.

Re: HP EliteBook 745 G5 password

Hey all,

I have some issues with my laptop as well. The first one is a bios password and that's how I got here in the first place. And the other one is my laptop throttling down to 0.38ghz. Everything runs frustratingly slow. And the fan is running at full speed all the time. HWiNFO is telling me something about prochot-ext, so something's definitely wrong here, although all temps are fine. I have played with windows power management options. Let it run with or without the battery, same goes for the power adapter. Reinstalled windows...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey guys, stumbled across this forum while being stuck with a bios password. I'm quite new at this and my brain hurts so bad with all this new information. I don't even know where to start... But at least it seems not all is lost and i can hopefully get this machine running again.
