Damn Dude what happend to the days where you just had to remove The Cmos Battery... Anyway Imhaving this problem at the moment but this is way too technical for me even trying this , but great video
Which hot air gun do you recommend? I am looking to buy one but there are so many. I see you can specify the temperature and the airflow on yours. Thank you.
it is really a pity that the only way to do this is by having special tools and technical skills. i can´t access bios to enable virtualization on my laptop since it has bios password... totally disapointed.
You didn't really need to pull everything apart. Just removing the back plastic cover was enough to expose the BIOS chip. I would also recommend using a chip test clip for reprogramming rather then unsoldering it out. But otherwise, thank you for this informative video.
Does HP not let you download the bios for you laptop model from their website? I know Dell does. Not sure why you'd need to get it from a random website? As when I buy a used laptop, I'd always flash the bios with the latest version from the manufacturers website. Just so I know I have the latest version, and just in case the previous owner didn't do something right or messed with the bios, and then I'd also replace the CMOS battery.
@@TweakTips Okay, after you flash the BIOS with the download from that website to remove the password. Can you then flash the BIOS with the official version from the manufacturers website? Thanks.
Hello, I think it will be difficult for me to desolder the bios chip of my computer. Can i just solder wires on the pins of the BIOS chip and reprogram it without unsoldering ?
I did, well the XgPro utility was set to erase the BIOS before programming - so when you click program, it will (by default) erase the BIOS IC before re-programming it
Hi, I have a HP ProBook 4430s Laptop and the current configuration is as follows👇 2x2GB 1333Mhz PC3 RAM= 4GB, Intel Core i5 2520M Processor, 500GB HDD with Windos 10 Pro 64bit. I want to upgrade my RAM with 2x8GB 1600Mhz PC3 and also want to replace the hdd with the 500GB SSD but don't want to change the processor so is it possible to change all these without changing the the CPU. Please healp me in this regard🙏
Hi Rupak - the ProBook 4430s accepts DDR3 RAM, so as long as the RAM you are installing is compatible, then yes. The SSD should be SATA, so again you will be OK. No need to upgrade the processor.
@@TweakTips Hi thanks for your repply i would like to known, Is there anything else to watch accept the DDR3, like ram speed (1333 Mhz/1600 Mhz) voltage (1.35v/1.5v) etc and also i would like to informe you that according to HP website this lapotop supports only 8GB =4x4 RAM.
hello, has anyone tried to access the bios of the last probook 440 G9 ? Can we with the ch341a ? I have the impression that the eprom is more complicated to access 🥴
