Yes to sponsors!
I miss pendrives with activity LEDs... I found them super useful. Computer cases without HDD activity LEDs or reset switches make me sad.
Sponsorship is ok...nothing wrong with making an honest living
I have to say that, after two whole years of me trying to fix one of these computers which had a blinking charge light (white-orange) and no power, which for me seemed like a power failure all that time, it has turned out to also be a scrambled BIOS. After spending almost a hundred hours of tinkering (and learning a lot of it), a cheap ch341 programmer and your video has been the solution. Thanks a lot, Graham! You earned yourself a Patron 😊
Dude, you have loads of patience and talent. I’m in IT for medical manufacturing plus I build and repair PCs on the side. Your videos have taught me so much. You’re a credit to the industry. :)
My 2c about the sponsorship: It's all about the presentation!
From our past experience, I trust that you won't make it boring or fake, so why not!
Agreed. My thoughts were that doing the read in person while I take covers off (a section I usually fast forward) avoids a fairly jarring cut-to-commercial, and keeps it nice and unobtrusive, but also people aren't missing any 'content' if they skip forward to when the covers are off.
@@Adamant_IT And there was I hoping for a few Linus-styles segues 🙃
You need to press and hold B key and then press the power on button to boot in bios mode but before that you should disconnect bios battery and check.
Yes, absolutely go with a sponsor. You have overcome the key concern I have with many sites that are sponsored which is that the product/service is actually not very good but promoted anyway. Providing you are happy with the quality of the product/service, go for it.
+1
Fully understand the need for ads. However, if you could add a skip point or leave a banner on screen while running, that would allow us to choose whether to watch it. Thanks mate. Keep up the great work.
You can use the sponsor block extension to get skip points
Mate, you pour so much effort and dedication into these videos. You are always taking the 'hard' route in order to make your content informative and valuable for the viewers. Please, go ahead and take up any sponsor deal you feel comfortable with. I will gladly watch it knowing, that you get at least a small bit back.
If you do something like audible, ifixit, coffee, or something to that extent I'm all for it
Ifixit would be on brand for a comouter repairshop
Hey man! Love the work as always, Sponsors are all good, YT Run them all the time so go for it!
Surprised I haven`t seen an advert for PCBWay! They are on every other channel, I know more about that company than I ever needed to know
This deep dive into bios is very interesting.
@Adamant IT
For you to talk about sponsors the way you asked us is refreshing.
You are a most honest TH-camr and any sponsor you choose would be a good one. Promoting products you would use or advise us to use would be acceptable.
Run your business like you will sir, we are not worried about it
I'm happy with sponsor read during the disassembly process
You got this Graham, you have never given up in locating the problem on a laptop.. I like these types of complicated situations, because it teaches us, to explore other possibilities, and in searching sometimes, we find the real problem, and not what we thought.
So I have complete confidence in you. 😁💻
A constantly flashing caps lock indicator is what you should expect when doing a BIOS upgrade from USB, together with non responsive power button, so you can't turn it off during the BIOS upgrade.
Possibly someone was removing the battery during BIOS upgrade, and the laptop was then stuck in this mode.
What you should have done (or tried) is to push and hold WIN KEY + B KEY and then push power button, while you had the USB installed.
I run my own little fix it shop out of my garage in Minnesota, fixing laptops and cars and stereos, TVs, anything. People always ask me, "How are you so SMART?!"
I always tell them, "I'm not smarter than you, I'm just better at Google and TH-cam, and have more practice."
It's a perfect spot for a sip of coffee and a sponsor plug.
Thanks a lot! Hp 450 g4 had corrupt bios and now it works again🎉
I'm really surprised that just before 1 hour I completed the same laptop HP Elitebook 9470m with a BIOS flash to remove the BIOS password in order to reinstall the windows which was corrupted. And just opened the youtube and saw this video and felt wow, Admant also troubleshooted same laptop. I was really enjoying this video cause I have completely removed the laptop and took the motherboard out for BIOS flash. The matter is I spent for 2 days in working with BIOS, flashing, then reflashing more than 6 times and finally before one hour I completed and now I have a complete business class laptop as Adamant said. Actually, I didn't think this laptop as high grade before Adamant emphasized it.
You need to press win+B key before powering the laptop when using usb flashback. hold it until an image came
Your channel is the best IT repair channel on this entire TH-cam. You deserve so much more subscribers and yes please take all the sponsors you can get! A business is a business and you have got to pay the bills. Keep on doing what you are doing. I am an system engineer myself but as you know, you learn every day something new and i learned a lot from you! Big fan.
An appropriate one minute ad? Absolutely.
anything that keeps you going and the videos coming
The documentation on these HP laptop's BIOS recovery procedure is all over the place, but most of the time you have to hold down Windows + B or V key and then hold the power button for 2 seconds for it to initiate fail safe BIOS recovery...
For me the BIOS recovery procedure worked on a HP Envy4 only when i removed the internal HDD/SSD.
AWESOME - this BIOS Challenge made me squirm 'till you got it working! Great job.
You are far braver than me in soldering on multi-layer boards. I've worked with computers since the 1970s, and am quite up to date with technology, but had to give it all up due to poor health. But, I still like to maintain my computers and those of a few friends, so I definitely like to keep abreast of tech. I could have worked out the bios content needed, but would not have gone to bios chip removal etc. so would have been stumped at that point - especially as I only have a basic soldering iron and have no intention of investing in more tools which I have little need for.
I enjoy repairing computers, and given that I cannot do it today due to ill health, I will instead appreciate watching someone else at work who does a proper, professional job like yourself. Keep up the good work!
Here's a tip for you of when or if you need to sort out a bios rebuild - Have 3 windows open to organize and separate old from new to rebuild that way you know what is where and you don't become confused as I found it quite nerve stressing - if you write over the old and accidentally put it back and get it mixed up then a BIG oops and you have no original file what was there before to fall back on.
"Tasteful, not really gross" sounds good to me. I can always hit the right arrow on my keyboard a few times to fast forward if I need to.
For sponsors, do like "My Mate Vince" where he speaks about his list of fans when he sees that a task is about to be long like unscrewing a back cover or so.
Vince gave a shout-out to Graham in his last MacBook video
@@reggiedixon2 Yes. About the capacitor. Louis Rossmann, AdamantIT, Paul Daniels(?) mentioned the model had that specific issue and replacing the capacitor will revive the MacBook again.
I trust your integrity and judgement in sponsoring products. You should be compensated for the effort you generate in providing interesting and helpful content.
Nobody likes adverts, but you absolutely need them. There is nothing at all wrong with running a business and making money. Have the sponsorship up-front like you suggested. Your work is appreciated!
Thank you for showing me this tool.
I'm currently trying to bring back all the info from the corrupted bios of the machine I repaired by flashing a clean one.
Even better that this tool works on Linux
Thank you very much for sharing sir. Please keep showing us the way, we take care of walking it because it is the only way to know if it is winding or flat.
"Have you ever tried to disassemble a Thinkpad?" I do everyday brother, I feel that pain 😔
Make your money man! We trust and support you.
I love it when you win!
You do you dude it won't stop me from watching.
I would support adverts as long as they are relatable to the channel 👍🥰😇
I made a tool to view window's serial directly from dump.. when I have it I print it and stick it on the back of the laptop :)
Brilliant Graham👍🏽yes to sponsors
This video came at just the time I needed. I'm trying to do a bios mod on my HP z440 and I am trying to move the system info over to the mod bios I downloaded. This video helped me a lot! Thanks!
I like that you are down to earth and not a sell out. What I am referring to is youtube is full of creators that out extravagant voices (as compared to their first videos) and stupid skits, all gringe worthy...
Sponsorship is a sure thing to get as they will help your channel to grow. Thats nice of you asked us its alright or not. Yes to sponsorships!
I did repair a HP pavilion 15-bs series laptop that belongs to my brother. The bios was a 8mb flash dump. I downloaded the exe from hp website and there was an option to extract the bios, I got a maching bios file which was 8 mb and no serial written on that. I flashed that into the laptop and the laptop worked.
To revive the serial number and other details I opened up the original bios dump in hex workshop and serched for the serial number as text, I found the user area where all the serial number mac id uuid were written and in just next block found the windows licence key. I copied everything and pasted them into the same area of the fresh bios I got from the exe file. The informations were restored.
All I needed to do was to relock the manufacturing programming mode which is used to program the serial number in factory. As the bios had no information written on it the programming mode was unlocked.
I relocked the manufacturing programming mode using hp bios config utility after booting up the windows. Its been two years the laptop is working fine.
I salute you for thinking about actually good value sponsoring and not just monetization
Another educating video with humour. thank you.
Amazing BIOS repair skills
Yes to Sponsors.... You deserve to get something more.
BEST VIDEO FOR BIOS RECOVERY THANK YOU
sponsers are good no problem,more channels are doing it all the time
I would be happy to hear about sponsors in your channel. First because your videos are very instructive and you deserve to earn more from them and second because I am sure you will filter the sponsors and only send the good stuff towards us :)
Go for the sponsorship. We had a lot of these back in the days, HP replaced the mainboard when this happend. I still have mine and use it sometimes, i like the formfactor.
Very well ... Greatings from Portugal 🇵🇹 🌟
quick tip for hp, i believe enterprise only, devices to update SN, and so on:
After entering BIOS Setup by hitting the ESC key, and then selecting the F10 option from the menu, press Ctrl+A to open additional fields in Security>System IDs menu. You can change/enter your PC's serial number in Asset Tag Number and Chassis Serial Number in the applicable fields.
You can find this info on the rear cover.
Very cool! Thank you for bringing me along!
yea go for sponsors Graham - a vocal ad is much better than other ads randomly interrupts - also i have a elitebook 840 board with locked bios wish i could send you
Dude, you can advert anything. I am learning so much from your videos and its all so interesting.
Sponsor shoutout.Sounds good. Best to do it while taking the covers off.
More than happy to hear about more UK based coffee roasters!
🎈I told you, you had this Graham!
This kind of repair is a level, I do not know.. Let a computer professional like Graham take care of it, until I learn how. Thank you Graham, for a interesting video, and BIOS complications that had my head spinning.🤯💻 You are definitely the man.
as long as it is a tasteful read and a product you personally endorse.
100% do any ads you want! We can always skip through them! Ads are part of world we live in, more money in your pocket makes life easier and you only live once!
Yep go for it!! might as well get some pocket money for your time , and yet another great video.
Amazing Job ! and well done from Morocco
Hey G.Lord. Great video as always.
A word to the wise
HP Bios upgrade procedure
Insert the USB flash drive with the BIOS file into an available USB port on the notebook. Press and hold the Windows + B keys, and then simultaneously press and hold the power button.
Use USB with indicator lights .
15:03 LOL just worked on a Dell XPS 13 9300 which has 5 BIOS chips on it! That ElitebOOK is a walk in the park! Good work mate.
I would say you're pretty good in what you do, keep learning & improving each day, there's always something new to learn, knowledge is power!
I think I had this same problem with my Lenovo E450 ThinkPad..🤔💻The System needed to be Restored, back to where it was operating perfectly.. I call it, "The Time Machine."
Perfect advertising strategy! Awesome awesome awesome content. You’re Dependable and trustworthy. I would trust your endorsement.
im ok with a sponmser read. good for you, good for the channel.
In my view it’s a perfect approach to advertise products. Go for it.
Good idea on the sponsor while you are taking apart the laptop.
14:20 I've been repairing 2002-2005 thinkpads lately just for fun, and I must say, god damn that generation is lovely to work on. Screws are all labeled on the back, which size goes where, and a handy little chart for figuring out which screw you have in hand. Absolutely brilliant. Dont know anything after the T40/R51 generation though :p
11:11 I think you would need to press something like (win+B key, or Win+V key, or just keep pressing B key) one of those 3 options for it to work.
Perfectly happy with sponsors Graham, would never begrudge you making some extra cash :)
i have a dell latitude E5470, and as for dissasembly its a little in the middle, yes it has a big removable bottom panel, but then if you want to go further, you have to take off a "subframe" that provides it with rigidity.
I'm amenable to that sponsorship bro but pls 40 sec only. Always excited to watch your informative videos tutorial ...
I wouldn’t mind seeing Sponsors on your channel. Whatever helps you earn more money and keep the channel going is fine by me.
Its completely ok if you read sponsor. But one thing if you read continuously for 60 sec. People will skip/fast forward it. So IMO its best to split this in chunks maybe a little in start and rest of it near end if its ok with the sponsors.
But its just me, you obviously free to do whatever You want.
BTW Great video as always.
60-second reads are the industry standard, so that's what it'd likely be. But yea, the rate of people who skip is the PR agency's concern, not mine, if you see what I mean.
@@Adamant_IT Well in that case. I'll Look forward to watch your first sponsered video, soon. :)
It's getting the balance right with sponsoring. It wouldn't phase me if you did as you're suggesting. Edit; The uefi tool looks great, a little confusing as you had to swap between versions of uefi tool to get the functionality you needed but it was intelligible as long as I didn't blink. I can take the matchsticks out my eyes now. But really, very informative and interesting to watch. Edit 2; Back in the '90s and noughties you could reprogram a BIOS chip by just shorting pins out on the system board and loading the BIOS image from a floppy diskette. Of course that didn't always work and you had to unplug or unsolder the chip and reprogram it. But you didn't have to worry about protected sectors or branding or machine type numbers and serial numbers etc. I'm sounding old now...
tbh, i rarely coment anything, but im watching regularly and im fairly okay with sponsors. Im convinced that you really pick someone whos worthy
Absolutely superb graham,well done
I dont mind ads, its normal this days... but I would love to see a progress bar, so if somebody is not interested into it, they could get a visual feedback on how long the ad section is when skipping.
Example.. Ad section starts, in the top or the bottom of the screen a bar apears so while the ad is running, its getting shorter and shorts till it completely disapears when the section is over.
Bro. Make it a 90 second read if u feel like it. I just learned of this new way to fast forward thru all the bits of ur vids that bore me. Cheers matey! Love em so keep em coming and make ur money. Maybe put up a new poster even.
Awesome video sir. Your videos give my confidence to continue and keep getting better...cheers bro
YES! IT'S ALIVE!!!
Loved da ending innit
I did the same thing with my elitebook 8470p. Downloaded the whole bios image on bad caps and got a post with those scary red messages. I restored all the serial numbers and stuffs using BCU.
Regarding Sponsers, I would do it definitely Graham.. Do you.
Nice and very clean work 👍
Gday go for it re sponsors.
If it helps with the bills and interesting, then all the better.
Great video and a real eye opener in the bios file structure of these type of LT’s and traps on replacing an existing bios set. Appreciated
go for it - your take on it will be amusing
Your sponsors suggestion sounds ok to me
Hey man- Sponsors are good! Go for it. We all like your content enough to bear a 60 second ad...
Yes, sponsor it just fine it is an incentive for the great work you are doing, Great insight on the configuration of bios file.
Great video, this is something I would never attempt. Take all the sponsors you need, you are in business after all.
this is very helpful i hope the nexts fix is admin pass swat of HP soon keep it up
I trust whatever you pick to promote will be good. You deserve to get some extra coin for your videos, you produce great content
If the sponsor is related to the work you do and you willing to put your name and your brand with it, am good with it man. Just don't let it get out of hand. So many used to be great channels out there are now just advert channels...
Go for all the content appropriate sponsors you can get! Loving your work, its inspiring me to begin electronics (hobby level).
