    Does anyone have a version of AMIDELNX that could edit type 39 in DMI?

    Thanks all

    Hello. At this point first I will say thanks all for your support.

    And I might have an interesting tip:

    To use the "Intel Flash Programming Tool" (included in FTK) for full access on an HP ProBook (Elitebook) 8560p, you must first unlock the descriptor.

    There is an "hotkey" to remove the lock:

    1. Set boot device to USB (and have an bootable USB-Stick with, for example, FreeDOS and the tools plugged in)
    2. Shut down NB. For save work use both line power and battery
    3. press the WIN | left arrow | right arrow buttons (all three together and hold them)
    4. power on the NB
    5. on the first message on the display release the buttons.

    Then You will see an new message on the first line:

    HDA_SDO. To lock SPI, do global reset or remove AC & DC then boot after updating SPI.

    Well, thats it: full dump of BIOS chip is possible, FPT reported no error..
    I have not tested full access to flash it (don't want to brick my NB :rolleyes: )

    Maybe it works on some other HP NB the same way.

    Ahhha

    Hehe :rolleyes: - but why You don't tell it to me while I'm searching the whole web? :biggrin: (sorry for this joke) :hug2:

    Well, CodeRush told me he will post it. I have posted it first in "FTK tools" day before yesterday.

    And just found this in Your hint: there is a earlier reference to the three buttons ("try it") by "TimeWalker75a" in the same thread, but I'm not able to get it as search result, because there is no clear connection to "descriptor lock / unlock" I'm searching for.

    I think "CodeRush" had written my test results with the best of intentions, see his post under "FTK tools".
    And so I hope all around the web now will be able to find this "hidden secret". :) Simply great!!
