    Not best solution.
    You will loose existing DMI data/get different DMI with a new bios chip.

    Better: Read out the memory content and clean it like shown in the second YT-video.

    Are you able to desolder the bios-chip?

    Can you make a read-out with Intel Flash Programming Tool (or easier: BACKUP_Tools19 or BACKUP_Tools20, you'll find it via Google, has a comfortable GUI and logs) and attach the result to a PM to me? I'll have a look, maybe a cleaned ROM can flashed w/ IFPT.

    I can definitely try that out. I'll download the BACKUP_Tools20 and run the read-out with it. I'll attach the log file to a PM for you to take a look. Hopefully, we can get a cleaned ROM flashed with IFPT. Will keep you updated!

    Best solution, as i wrote month ago, is to clean the bios from password shown in the linked YT-video.

    Based on the dump of the bios of the machine to preserve the individual data!
