Hi everyone, a friend of mine asked me for repairing his laptop (Dell Latitude D620), his uncle bought it at a flea market in texas but when he turned it on(here at mexico, the battery was discharged) he realized it has a bios pass, i tried to locate the 24c02 but i read all the post in some threads, and there's no solution at least with the shorting method. the number is #5PLSKB1-595B. I don't know if it's stolen or not, the only thing i know is it has bios pass, could anyone of here help me to unlock it?

Latitude c400 not powering up
Dell latitude c400, just shorted the BIOS password, got it working. Booted it a few times on XP, worked fine. I was powering it off the mains then.

I then tested the battery life, so I turned it on without the power cord, but half way through draining I had to go to my other house, so I flipped the lid down and carried it to my car (I believe shutting the lid when only powered by battery puts it to sleep, or on standby?).

It would not power off the battery alone when in the car, and still does not, even though I left it with 50% charge. It does also not power up when plugged into the mains anymore.

Very puzzled, any help would be appreciated

- Jake


NB: The battery charge light flashes green approximately once every 10 seconds.

Good luck. Let us know if you get a reliable source.
Try calling IBM
If you are a registered owner, call 1-(800) 426-7378 and have handy your serial number, type number and relevant part numbers or look for IBMSERV.

i think they specialize in ibm's

here's the datasheet showing 24c256 chip with 8 pins and 14 pins. the notch at the top of the chip indicate pin 1 on the left. pin 8 is across from it. pin 4 is gound, pin 5 is sda, and pin 6 is scl. it looks like this:
1-o-----o-8
2-o-----o-7
3-o-----o-6 <-------- SCL
4-o-----o-5 <--------SDA PIN 4 IS GROUND
on the 14 pin chip, ground is pin 6, sda is pin 8 and scl is pin 10. GROUND can be anywhere on the chassis. all you need to worry about is pin 8 & 10 or 5 & 6.
good luck.

raybay, you'll be surprised, that there's way to remove IBM passwords without disassembling laptop, and moreover without any manipulation with MB. this way yo remove passwords is RFID channel and special hardware and software

Bios C840

Hello
I have 2 laptops, latitude c840 dell. Both are secured with bios password. I've tried everything I've found on the forum: I've localised eeprom (it is under CD drive). I've tried to reset chip with using shorts 3/6, 3/5 and 4/6. I've also tried Paragon33 metod with gator, and tried short 5 and 6 pin to grount. Unfortunatelly it is give no positive results. I've read on one forum that it is possible to cut power to eeprom (8 pin) and I did it in one of my laptops... well the result is i've unlock the comp, but it didn't see HDD and CD.. Pls help me if you can. PLEASE!

Thanks.

you need to go into bios and see if there's an exclamation point (!)in front of hdd and cd. i'm 99% sure there is. press "ins" key, and the exclamation point will disappear. this is what happens when a pc is bios locked. the hdd and cd is disabled. you have to re-enable them.

the only way to remove the password is to "read" it from the eprom. maybe you can elaborate on this new technique by way of RFID.

you should check your facts again. the password CAN BE read from the eeprom. people do this every day. IBM wants $1,100.00 for a motherboard for a pc that's worth $150.00
here's a stater for you: www.password-removal.com

Shorting out some chips worked once on older models, but those could usually never be passworded again. Others, even adjacent Dell models, can not be shorted out.
Newer systems require a EEPROM programmer with a knowledge of how the system password works. There are many Dell and Lenovo brands that cannot be fixed by a normal human being once the password is there, unless it is done at the home base of the manufacturer.
It is as much a matter of luck as anything.
Dude,
you're giving wrong information to people. the eeprom chip CAN BE read and the password can be revealed. no need to call IBM. you may want to read up on this eeprom reading subject, because you seem to be giving the wrong info. check this one site: www.password-removal.com

Unless you are the registered owner, Dell will not help, and it takes about 21-30 days to get registered.
The Dell Latitude D620 is a difficult password fix.
Suggest you read through all the Dell password messages on this TechSpot forum, and there are at least 800 messages... in there somewhere, there may ba a clue, and there may be a person who can repair it... but you may have to ship it elsewhere to get it done. The answer, if there is one, is somewhere in our log of Dell password messages.
You may get lucky, and have the one or two experts who can fix it read your message and contact you.
A fix from a professional service will cost as much as $450... Best place I know of is in Ontario, Canada.
YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THIS ONE: www.password-removal.com
it's nowhere near $450.00 and they're located in USA.

unfortunatelly, there's no exclamations before drives in bios, I can't activate them, I think this mother board is lost. But I have one more question, what to do with secon one, which has a password too. I can't reset eeprom memory and remove service tag in any way..
