[REQUEST] Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52 BIOS Unlock

[censure]

Any chance for an Unlock of the latest BIOS for the new Acer Predator Helios (PH315-52)? What is a reasonable donation for a new MOD like this? I don't have a lot to spare after scrounging up the money for this laptop, but I can put something together.

In any case, this will probably be a very popular laptop this year. Shocking how simple the default BIOS is.

Hi
Your bios is rewrite protected
You need SPI-programmer+SOIC8 clip only

Hi, please help in unlocking advanced menu

Model name is Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52, this is new 2019 model with 9750H cpu and 1660ti gpu

I made dump using programmer CH341A and clip tool through the windows app CH341A Programmer ver. 1.18

Bios chip is Winbond 25Q80EWNIG, Bios setup utility is InsydeH20 Rev. 5.0

Dump is attached

The only thing, please advise. It was set a supervisor password (i e password you need to put when accessing a bios) and I forgot to remove it before the dump. Won’t it prevent anything? And will it be kept the same after modifying? I can re-dump again without password but I need to assemble cooling system back, please let me know how is better

Thanks in advance, I will be happy to donate of course

Also, the stock BIOS does not seem to have Boot Mode: Legacy. Actually there is no Boot Mode at all. Does this mean the BIOS has hidden the option from us or the motherboard supports only UEFI ? Could you make an unlocked BIOS with that option?
