It wasn't the clip I used, I used a WSON8 Pogo, is that still no good?

Do you know if when the chip is unsoldered, can it be read with something like this?

Can somebody advise if these BIOS dumps are correct please?

I read 3 in Asprogrammer with the correct 25rh256cxiq selected, the other I read in neoprogrammer with W25Q256FV selected.

When I compare them in a hex viewer they are all different, even the three dumped with asprogrammer, used a CH341A and WSON8 pogo.

The goal is to remove the admin password, however I don't want to even attempt it until I know these backups are good as I've already bricked my other 5420 tonight!

Service tag is C4617M3

Thanks in advance....

Evening folks, my names Andy, not new to IT, very new to BIOS recovery, hoping to learn.

Hi guys

Its my own fault, I'm just hoping somebody can help and the laptop isn't bricked.

The BIOS chip is a 25rh256cxiq, I read it using neoprogrammer 2.2.0.10 but like a complete idiot didn't search the chip, it was set to the wrong chip, I read the BIOS, unlocked it, flashed the unlocked file and now the laptop is dead, won't even try to power on, only after I'd flashed it I realised the wrong chip was selected.

How stuffed am I? Is there a way to flash a generic Dell Latitude 5420 BIOS so I'm not stuck with a dead paper weight?

I have another...
