We had to find the bios chip buy a eep rom programmer spi flash programmer (the weird usb device) to dump erase and rewrite the bios . To use some soldering to connect some strings as well. At the end we had to use rcunlocker as explained on this website <a href="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/87349-rcunlocker" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">badcaps.net/forum/troubleshoot</span><span class="invisible">ing-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/87349-rcunlocker</span></a> as well as IMGProg . <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/IMGProg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IMGProg</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/probook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>probook</span></a> x360 11 g5 ee <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/rcunlocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rcunlocker</span></a> .

@golem Das ändert nichts am #AntiRepair - Design [z.B. muss beim #SurfaceTablet das LCD-Display zerstört werden um den #Akku zu tauschen!] noch daran dass dies nichtmals ansatzweise dem branchenüblichen Support für #ThinkPad (#Lenovo), #Latitude (#Dell) & #ProBook (#HP) entspricht...

Jene #Ersatzteil-#Verkäufe für #Microsoft - #Surface - Geräte sind auch nur auf Staaten beschränkt, wo #RightToRepair in Gesetzen oder -Entwürfen stehen - also nur der politischen #Sabotage dienen!
