A1398 2014 - BIOS Lock

Hi, the device is BIOS locked. I don't have proper tools for reprogramming.

What if I change the BIOS from another same model MLB, will that do?

I am okay with the serial number mismatch.

Such change can generate ME region issues.
BIOS file requires clean ME region before place in other board.
Direct change will work, but you can expect to weird issues in time; like reboots, turns off in 5-30min, crash before login macOS, etc...

Can I use this?

If yes, can you help me with this? I didn't find any relevant content.

You need to remove the SPI chip and read it first.
Verify to get good reading and save a backup in your service PC.

Post the exact 820-xxxx board code you have on the desk.
