Hello, I had a dead 3080 Micro (No video, no lights, no fan spin) and I flashed the bin above, it worked and I could write the service tag now, however the computer takes a very long time to start. Upwards of 15 seconds to show video output and the dell logo.
Also it shows the error "TPM Not Found" I tried to remove the CMOS Battery, held the power button for 30 seconds and the BIOS settings reverted to factory, Absolute was enabled and TPM was visible in the BIOS.
I disabled Absolute, rebooted and TPM is not showing in the BIOS anymore but I don't get the error in the picture...

Try with a different programmer. I flashed the CHPB Variant and it let me update the bios & firmware to the latest version using the RCV file.
I only have one problem where the power on light doesn't stay on. It only turns on when I press the button to power the machine on, but the lights remain off....

I tried one and the computer booted (before it would have no video and a high speed fan) but the BIOS says "Unidentified System" where the model should go.
Mine is the DDR5 with a full sized - standard dell charger
I think there's a DDR4 variant also.

[B]Edit:[/B] I tested both variants and in both it says "Unidentified System"

[B]Edit: After updating to the latest BIOS, and pressing Alt + F on boot, I got the menu to select between the Regular Optiplex 7000 Alder Lake or the China Version with HDD Protection. [/B]I tried one and the computer...

I am aware of REX's patch, it works wonderfully; but I meant reverse engineer the master password... not modify the contents of the BIOS flash chip....

I just thought about it, and decided to give it a good 'ol google search... and comes along your post on the 3rd result lol
Have you had any progress? I mean it shouldn't be impossible or if I could take a guess at least, something that has been done before.

I found there's people on the fleabay selling you a master password for 75 dollars, and has over 180 combined sales so far... Also in the BIOS of all of these newer models the "Master Password Lockout" option still exists. Which means they have a master password.

Just my 2 cents.

I've been a lurker for years, but I never got to login or create an account. I guess is worth it, to help other people.

A little bit about me? Well I am a systems administrator and in my free time I like to mess with older devices, such as routers, desktops or laptops.​
