This dump has no password, try searching for 16mb file.

Wait.... There is more than 1 chip on this board ?!!

Do you know where the other is ?
I may need to take out the board.

I don't know where you got that information from
But after checking the opposite side, there was nothing there besides CPU heatsink, MOSFET, coils.

So all api ICS on this board are one near thunderbolt ic and one near memory, close to ite superio chip

I tried that. No dice. Still asking for password

Also after comparing the content it looks like you only zeroed Tse region. I really wish it was that easy. Thanks for helping anyway

I sent you the bios from the HP site update
DMI 220000 - 2200FF
KEYWIN 63E000 - 63E03F

Looks like I knocked some component off board while desolderig. Now it would not turn on nor showing charge lamp even After restoring original bios. No short on board, 3.3v present on bios vcc pin

Does anybody happen to have close up picture surrounding bios chip ?

Thanks
