i see some risk of this method and effort to disassmbly computer for main board access , so there is a question if new bios firmware from lenowo will not rewrite everything and activate white list again?

hi, yesterday I was do a bios dump file, unfortunately Dudu diagnosed that file has some bugs and it's impossible create mod.
I do it several times with same result, i verified contacts on pins and another. Everything looks ok.
My bios chip is MX25L12873F (X1 carbon 2nd gen).
Where could be fault.
In attachment my last dump.
