Hello
I wondering if Dell inspiron 5520 (i5-1145g7) has bios contents encrypted or not.
Bios is locked by password and I cannot remove it.
But... I would buy![[Image: 61yHZybsWRS._AC_SX679_.jpg]]()
and attach it to BIOS chips on board will allow me to make a dump of BIOS/UEFI.
If yes, that would be a point to decompile BIOS or just search for strings in bin file?
Yeah, I know .bin file - but I assume that could be good point to start.
At this moment I do not want override existing flash content.
Rather I would like to make a backup, and restore it via external programmer if needed.
I am attaching photos of motherboard.

I am not sure if that would be safe and convinient for that job?
