Definitive Unlock of the Government Netbook with a paperclip [ANTRAX]

<br /><br />Introduction: <br /><br />Hi everyone, in this paper I'm going to teach you how to definitively unlock the netbooks handed out by the government in Argentina. This is tested with an EXO.<br /><br /><br /><br />It's very easy, it just consists of resetting the TPM chip that comes beneath the RAM memory.<br />The only thing I'll use is a paper clip, although it could also be a hair clip.<br /><br />Disassembly:<br /><br />The first thing we must do is remove the battery<br /><br /><br /><br />Once this is done, we move upward the two little latches it has beneath the battery.<br /><br /><br /><br />What this does is release the keyboard. So now we open the lid of the Netbook and remove the keyboard.<br /><br /><br /><br />Carefully we disconnect that gray ribbon you see, which is a cable. To do so, at the end of the stretch there is a kind of latch, we just lift it and the ribbon comes out without problems.<br /><br />Now we'll come across the aluminum plate that is beneath the keyboard and we must remove it. Simply slide it to the left and it comes off.<br /><br /><br /><br />As I clarified at the beginning, the chip is located beneath the RAM memory. So we remove it<br /><br /><br /><br />We'll also remove the black plastic you see. Since the chip is located beneath it.<br /><br /><br /><br />And we have the chip!<br /> <br />CHIP:<br /><br />Supposedly the TPM chip (Trusted Platform Module) serves to improve security since it stores passwords, encryptions and certificates. Now we'll see how to "hack it" with a paper clip...<br />What we must do now is, with the clip, touch pins 21 and 22 of the chip. Below I leave an image of how the chip looks enlarged and which are the pins we must touch.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now we place the battery, touch the indicated pins with the clip and insert the RAM memory.<br />NOTE: The RAM memory won't go in all the way, so we must keep it pressed with our hand while touching the pins.<br />Once this is done, we turn on the Netbook (keeping the chip pins and the RAM memory in contact)<br />The Netbook will turn on, but it will get stuck at startup:<br /><br /><br /><br />If this appears, it's because we are doing it right! Now we turn off the Netbook and repeat this about 3 times...<br />After this, we place the RAM memory and turn it on (without touching the chip pins) and check whether it turns on or not. In case it turns on, we assemble it and done! Otherwise, we again repeat the steps of making contact with the chip pins<br /><br /><br /><br />Farewell:<br /><br />I hope it was useful to you and I hope that with this you can unlock your PCs.<br />I am not responsible for the misuse you may give this document or for damages you may cause.
