Please help!!

I managed to read the EEPROM on X61s but the value at line 0×330 is ËJz±ÚôÎ

I have pressed the AA button and altered the translation but I am unable to find a password that I can enter on the keyboard, any ideas. I think that the password maybe encrypted.

I have serious problem here.. i am using new TP E420 with toshiba hdd.
Few days ago I set up user and master hd password from bios, but after it was saved I can’t use that same password when I start the laptop. I can’t even enter bios because it will ask the hd password first unless I remove the hdd. Without the hdd, the hd password option in bios is invisible. I’m stuck. Any solution to this? Thanks

Anybody ever tried it with a dockign station as a second computer? I want to unlock a X32 with the help of a X31 with dock but it doesnt work? The circuit works, tried it last time, but had a regular PC as second PC. Do you think its a problem with the power? Can I hook up a battery to the circuit somehow?

My R30 is model 2656. The ATMEl 24RF08 is to the right if you see the White Memory Slot, under a black tape.

24RF08 on R30. It´s just 01cm. to the left from the white Memory Slot. You must discover a black tape. If you want, I can send you photos.
