There is a laptop at work that nobody has used for over a year, a thinkpad, something like this, i know it has an i7 processor. I thought about swiping it to use at home. If i wipe and replace the hard drive, will that take care of any tracking software that might be installed? or should i just not bother at all?

Yea. Everything is on the HDD. All you need to do is wipe windows. It's not like a car where people put tracking chips.

The BIOS could be locked
Christ, Jamal. Old Thinkpads are cheap. Just buy one.
The machine is probably worth $200. Are you REALLY willing to get fired and possibly arrested over that?

Remove CMOS battery and put back in.

How did you do this?

>Remove CMOS battery
This trick doesn't work on anything made after 2006. Depending on the model, he might be able to flash Libreboot or Coreboot to get around Computrace or a Bios lock.

This, if computrace is enabled then there's nothing you can do about it.
does anyone have that screenshot of where the guy shows how to unlock thinkpad bios by touching a screwdriver to certain pins on the bios chip while the computer turns on?

Why do you do this? Are you just a kleptomaniac or do you sell it?
>>51852531
I give the laptops away and I built a really nice home lab.
