Assuming these use 4 pin SOIC chips, a programmer and chip clip will get you started...back it up with flashrom and see if you can just modify the settings there, sometimes you can with open source tools, other times you need leaked AMI etc tools.
Beyond that, you may be able to find a way to remove the restriction and flash with your programmer, or use the bios from their website, but you have to be careful in case machine specific things like serial, etc are overwritten.

- mdp2021 5y agoThese are good hints for special cases, but when one buys a computer it must remain implied: it is owned not licensed, it is bought to be used according to need not according to the vendor's assumptions. It must be open - you want to install any OS, you can easily install any OS (and you surely must not be bound with the provided one). Strictly.
