Software for extracting BIOS?

NecroFlex

I have an HP Elitebook 8570p with a locked BIOS. That wouldn't be an issue since i have a USB BIOS programmer, but there's a small problem:

The BIOS is non-standard size and i don't have an adapter to read it (ironically 8560p had a normal sized BIOS...damn you HP). Is there any way to get the full BIOS off with software on windows/linux or a DOS program?

 

Thanks!

Not that I know of, sadly you might have to desolder that and get the weird adapter needed for CH314A or solder directly into pins and connect it to programmer. Datasheet for that chip is available on the internet, however I am not sure how you would go wiring that up with CH341A.

So basically, HP took a bigger chip that has the same 8 legs connected...god damnit.

Thanks! Will see if i can even try to solder on wires and connected it that way
