Hey Alex. I'm affraid that this one will be a return. You have flashed a kbc firmware which most likely does not have any locking mechanism inside. What you are looking for is bios chip between PCH and Cpu next to the ram slots

[@NorthridgeFix]

Thanks Slavoljub,. I appreciate your feedback on this. I checked and did find the Main Winbond Bios next to the CPU as you mentioned. I flashed the firmware on to it and restored the old firmware for the other chip. That's why it's always good to make a backup copy of the old firmware as I mentioned in this video, just in case we need to go back. Thanks again.

​@@NorthridgeFixsome laptops or desktops you can reset the firmware password by removing a tiny battrey it is called the cmos battrey

That’s awesome. It’s great learning new things on this channel.

[@rezmedic57]

Watching these through a microscope makes it look easier than it really is. Love the videos, very informative

[@retroredrum]

I recently did the exact same procedure on an Asus laptop for the first time. Trickiest part was to find the original bios file on the internet !

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

Where did you find it?

[@userJfedYj45688]

@@tanishqbhaiji103 I think Most of the files are available in The Manufacturer's Official website.

[@darkgrey1790]

If you have trouble. Reddit is your best bet.

[@BryantAvant]

It's because Toshiba is no Dynabook. I haven't had a problem finding a bios but I can see why there might be some issues.

Love your Channel. I'm a Secondary school teacher in New Zealand, specializing in Electronics embedded systems. I use your channel to inspire my students... Great work. I will be checking your store soon .Hope you ship internationally... Amazing work you do.

I would like to see how big boss disassembles and puts back tablets, phones etc with sensitive screens. Most of that kind of devices are glued today. How and with which glue you put them back? Please make that kind of video.

[@GIT-COMMS]

I've only ever heard of this procedure in theory but now in seeing the practical aspect of doing it, thanks

[@mm0077]

Good job. I have done this on a few boards and had success. As mentioned from some getting the bios from some manufacturers is a pain. In some instance I had to retrieve bios from donor board and then flash.

[@artursmihelsons415]

That's great practice to first read and save original Flash content.. 👍 I'm always doing so, even with old EPROM's.

I recently accidentally dropped my finer tipped soldering iron and it curved like yours is. Because of that honest mistake, I was able to more easily repair an isl chip on a MacBook Air repair I did. That bent tip really does wonders, doesn’t it?!? 😄

[@ergimazari3641]

I have learned from you so much and i want to rent a small shop but i dont have any soldering station. I want to save some money but its almost imposible besause i have to go to work. My passion is always microsoldering but i dont have most of the equippment. Im so glad you make videos because they inspire me. I live in Albania and prices of microsoldering are going rocket sky. So i want to help some people but i need some time. If you can help me that would be my dream but if you cant i respect you and dont forget. Keep up the great work!!

With right tools, 5 minutes job. Amazing

[@Rick1984P]

No, I think he left a few bits out: dumping the firmware usually takes a few minutes, finding the new one at least half an hour, writing the firmware takes a few minutes, etc. Still a nice job though :) Also: I tend to avoid these as 90% are stolen laptops.
