Hello, I'm owner of this laptop too. I've been looking for bios-mod for years. If you still have a copy of it, I would be glad if you send it to me.

Hi Gurus,

I am approaching you for a thing which may be a simple thought and will take days to figure out for me.

I am writing the modded BIOS to chips by CH341A programmer every time and am desperately trying since three weeks to be able to perform BIOS modifications through FPT.

I have removed the Descriptor lock by using FITC.

Next, I did two changes to PchBiosWriteProtect suggested by Coderush Changing 0xFE to 0xFF and Changing 0x20 to 0x00. But, no luck still getting the error "Error 28: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS, preventing flash access. Please contact the target system BIOS vendor for an option to disable Protected Range Registers." when I try to execute 1. fptw64 -d dump.bin 2. fptw64 -f dump.bin.

Next, I did replace the test statements with 4831C0 in PCHinitDXE at two places at BPL register comparision 40 84 28 -> 48 31 C0 and at BiosLock comparision F6 00 10 -> 48 31 C0. But, still no Luck.

I even disabled Intel Anti Theft, patched it by UEFIPatch and wrote it through programmer. Again, no luck.

Please find the latest bios dump(
  outimage.bin (Size: 6 MB / Downloads: 11) ) attached to thread. 

System BIOS version : A14
System Model : Inspiron 15R N5520
Chipset :- HM77 Mobile
CPU: i7-3632Qm

Can you please tell me if I am doing something wrong or help me unlock the BIOS to be able to write from windows cmd and also help me unlock the Hidden menus please.

Thanks in Advance for your suggestions/inputs.

Pavan.

Hi,

First of all, I need to tell you this, my laptop is actually Dell 7520 but my bios chip was corrupted (beeping) and they replaced it with 5520 chip. Everthing works fine but except switchable graphics. When I install AMD driver, both my cards are disabled. Like I never installed their drivers, I can't use them. Anyway, I did some research and I guess I can fix this issue with unlocked bios by changing them manually.

BUT if we can change my current bios software with 7520's bios software. I think that would be the best solution but I am not sure if we can the main bios chip software.

What should I do for the best solution? And how can I get the neccessary infos of my current BIOS software to provide you?
