Thanks for such a quick answer!! I used a Raspberry pi to read the bios from my laptop instead of the soldering method.
The bios has been uploaded at https://spaces.hightail.com/space/LO3z6
Do I have to solder to write the whitelist removed bios? Huh  I hope the Raspberry pi can write it back.

Thanks!!!
Hmm..bios from Universal Backup Tool 2.0 have 12 Mb size, may be you saved dump of EC (Embedded Conroller)?
Look carefully, there are 2 bios chips (Main and EC)
