Hi,

Short version: I am trying to reset/remove Computrace in a Lenovo T500 laptop. If you have a solution, please share.

Long version: I am trying to adapt the attached Python script but it relies on an earlier version of Flashrom. So far, I find two issues: 1) The newer version of Flashrom require the –p parameter, which is easy to fix in the script. 2) The script also seems to rely on a specific format of the –L output. See the line in def dumpTheHardWay(): if line.find(“chipsets”)>0: The output file is created, but the subsequent loop to parse the chip list does not find “chipsets”.

I contacted Core Security but they have not provided an update to the Python script, so I am trying to figure it out. The Python script is from 2009, so can you provide a sample of the –L output from a 2009 version of Flashrom so I can make the parsing loop work?

Yes, I have read the disclaimer about using Flashrom on laptops. I did not receive any warnings when running the attached so hopefully it won’t brick the T500.

Thanks,

Robert
